That's certainly true. Good point.

But in addition, one of the cardinal Woke beliefs is that "oppression" or "victimization" is always defined by the one who who "experiences" or "feels" it, not the person who actually intended or even did it. It's the alleged victim's "lived experience" that makes it "oppressive" or not.

So, for example, if a woman "experiences" a feeling of exclusion while at work, then "discrimination" is assumed to have taken place...regardless of what actually was intended, or even what actually happened. :shock:

So if anybody even "feels oppressed" by discrimination against "whites," then "oppression" is deemed (by Woke rules) to have taken place.

That's an awfully low bar. But Wokies are in no position to object to it, since it's their rule.

Another assertion by wonkers: men can breast feed, get pregnant and give birth. Yes. That's a 'thing'. Is this 'kind'? Is it 'racist' or 'bigoted' to deny this? Is this a worthwhile 'cause' that enlightens humanity and fights injustice? Is this anything other than a nasty, misogynistic ploy to undermine and dehumanise women?

More "woke" hypocrisy?

Whether in regard to race or gender or sexuality or religion or moral and political conflicts, the objectivists among us [left and right] often insist that all rational men and women are obligated to think and feel exactly as they do.

You either "wake up" and reject such things as transgender men and women or you "wake up" and accept them.

It just depends on how far some will take their own "woke" prejudices. For example, all the way to the gas chambers?

Or, for others like Immanuel Can, you either "wake up" and accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior or you will burn in Hell for all of eternity.

Talk about victimization!

Turning breastfeeding into (yet another) revolting male sexual fetish is disgusting and despicable.

Really? A foot fetish doesn't harm babies, deny reality, or dehumanise a very large percentage of the population.

Tell that to the wonkers on here. See how they defend it. I'm guessing they won't touch it with a barge pole.

Sure. A foot fetish is despicable because it fails the yech test even if it doesn’t cause harm. :lol:
