Do you speak Wokeish?

I would consider my political views on a par with Nigel Farage. I am struggling with this new world!

Just the term “woke” is incendiary, I’m more woke than you. I can’t be arsed to look it up in a dictionary but I suspect it says “Woke” [noun] to describe a collective of the permanently offended.

It’s just the thin end of the wedge this, we’ll be having the “Great British Wake off” on the box before long.

got a better idea for a tv show, "the all inclusive great british wank off" come on channel4 get it done

Places of worship are going to be fucked.

They won't be able to sing hymns or say Amen at the end of a prayer!

Thank fuck

Nigel farage is a **** so if you’re confused what you should call yourself, I’d go with ****.

Based on the op, I'm surprised this hasn't been moved to the politics subforum.

I don't know what the problem with people who menstate actually is, because it will include transmen (female to male transexuals). Although if they have been on a HRT prescription for a long time, they won't be menstruating.

The issue with "woke" culture is having a go at people that you expect to know something when they don't. Although some people will revel in ignorance and be deliberately provacative for the sake of it.

Not sure what Ze is meant to mean, assume it is instead of using "they" as a non-binary pronoun, but not sure why that is necessary.

Not really sure that story is particularly newsworthy tbh. Using parent/guardian instead of mother/father has been standard practice for years now, certainly on every single piece of correspondence I’ve ever received regarding my own kids.

Yes, it was common usage when I was at Uni in the 70s. Some on both sides of the debate go completely OTT with these issues.

As a cis-gendered member of human kind, I am grateful to Personchester University for spending time and money to produce guidance on the correct use of modern English.
From now on I will use the term 'ze' in place of all personal pronouns. Similarly 'women' will be replaced by 'persons who menstruate'.
It has yet to be decided if the term 'Stones' is allowed as it might be considered sexist harassment of persons on this forum.
'Hitting the target' may upset some ppl as being too militaristic and 'tackle' is strictly forbidden.

I'll just carry on using English and let the r/w perpetuate a culture war to cover up their mis-deeds - Save Our Statues.......
