How wokeness came to be
Interested to hear from the ladies of this forum about how they feel about this? Sound plausible?

This is the article she refers to in the interview:

By 2020 social media had done it's work. Targeted weaknesses in the population. A woman's nurturing instinct isn't a character flaw but it can be weaponized into one. We want everybody happy  1dunno1 .
It also started way before 2020. Yep,this lady agrees with her.

Thanks, touchy subject here.

I would only add that it is liberal women specifically, not so much women in general.

Absolutely they harnessed feminine empathy in the 60's, poor Johnny can't read, join the Peace Corps, burn your bra, liberate the boobies and breastfeed!

and on and on and it just escalated with every successive generation till now its absurdia: everyone gets a participation trophy for saving a gay whale for some twenty letter acronym. 

We have become a society of crybabies if you utter the word Gypsy or Squaw, you become doxed, cancelled and vilified as an example. 

The good stuff that came out of it was environmental cleanup, we no longer tolerate dumping in rivers, more wildlife preserves, reusable/repurposed, habitats for humanity, sustainable ag, homesteading, home schooling and farmers markets, organic foods/grocery outlets.

The bad stuff is on display in Karen Culture run amok, The View, Rachel Maddow, endless TDS displays.

I had hope for 3rd Wave Feminists, Naomi Wolfe urging moderation, return to Patriotism but its all been tossed since Trump and the cultural backlash on "toxic masculinity"

Honest to God, walk thru a garage sale or Goodwill/Sal Army thrift, the wholesale dumping of anything and everything orange (orange man bad) is just phenomenal. It triggers them just to SEE the color now

It all exhausts and repels me, I block what I can but its a society wide steamroller.

Yw, feminists hate me unless I'm helping kick men out of women's sports.
Feminism is,imho,the bulk of the problem. It takes a woman's focus from her instinct for her family and replaces it with job,money,ect... Problem is, she can't outrun the nurturing, the woman in her. So she seeks out people she can nurtutre and mother while scoring points.
I know all this because I know 'allies'. Mainly women, all liberal,mostly white. Full of regret and self loathing. Whatever cause they find appealing they latch onto. It's community and the saddest damn thing.

We are old school knuckle-draggers here. We know who the bosses are and they aren't happy what's happened the last decade or so.

I swear this white and blue hybrid pumpkin phenom was driven by AWFL Hillary voters to get orange pumpkins off front porch steps. Its gone plum wild in just 10 yrs time.

All of it is just hyper sensitive silliness. Esp sanding and staining all the kitchen cabinets dull grey or beige washed out wood because cooking in a maple-toned kitchen makes them cry. Tiktok enraged sanding!

If they can't deal with maple and chestnut stained wood surfaces, how will they cope w/econ calamity?

I would guess all the divorces and using children as a weapon in our new social reality. Not only do adults seek the need for balance, the children require balance (male/female) to grow physically and mentally mature. IMHO, we are now witnessing the fallout of the effects from 70's-90's hell, maybe to present. One parent child then has offspring, that child divorces and becomes a single then the next down the line and so forth. All this saddens me.

Very sad indeed, not the way we are supposed to live. Life is so much better with a solid family structure. Makes you an honest person by default.
