Society/Culture Woke. Can you tell real from parody?

That’s because I’m always right
Even when I’m wrong
Unless I’m arguing with my wife… in that case I’m always wrong

It's far easier to win an argument on the SRP than with my wife. I haven't tried calling her woke yet.

Give it a crack and let me know how it goes

Pretending everything you don't like is woke isn't winning you any arguments.

Happy to be proven wrong - feel free to provide a link to an example of all this winning.

Sounds like a financial decision not “woke”

 

[Father Jack]

Does anyone here know enough about surfing to confidently state whether transwoman have a physical advantage in the sport?

While being mindful that the trans community should be accepted and welcomed by society, there's room to debate some aspects of their 'rights'. An elite female surfer who opposes transwomen participation in their sport of choice is probably someone worth listening to.

We've reached the point where some parts of the left are happy to tell biological females (AFAB) that their opinion doesn't matter. It makes no sense to me, so I guess it's woke.

so all 'biological females' have the same opinion that isn't taken into account, or are there a range of opinions that do get taken into account but at the end of the day a decision has to be made which not everyone will be happy with?

I'm sort of interested to hear what these people think is going to happen their lads if the dreaded fairer sex is introduced to their education experience because it looks a bit old man yelling at clouds right now. Personally I think government funding to a private school that bars fifty percent of the population male or female from attending sounds a bit off.

Moreso posted that because I was dumbfounded that women being allowed to work is considered a progressive woke idea.

Imagine being 70 years old, still identifying as a private school boy and sooking about girls.

Snowflake generation.

 

[peetoo]

And they reckon it’s just Melbourne which goes Gaga about private schools

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Also, why is grandad deciding which school his grandkids are going to?

Sounds a bit fishy.

Absolutely that's what it sounds like, and this describes most "woke" decisions tbh

It was in its day. (EDIT - Answer to EFL Boy above.)

Some of the reasoning is pretty odd
I’m not against same sex schools by any means especially if the teaching methods are aimed towards one sex or the other

But the bloke who was going on as if having female students will be a distraction to his grandson like they are some form of siren temptress who’s only there to distract his grandson from his education was equally entertaining as it is sad

Bunch of old troglodytes afraid of change

IIRC, research suggests the inverse is true: girls in same sex education are more productive before boys enter the classroom.

I am sure there are site rules about such rude words on images! I have reported this!!

i’m so ****ing sorry Chief. would taking out a premium platinum membership right the boat?

many true word etc

I went to an all boys school, I reckon I was better off, I'm sure I would have been fine with girls around though. I feel like it's easier for boys to build stronger friendships when girls aren't around, have no research to back this up though.

Granted, researched in to this a few years ago as part of my masters, but single sex schooling suits girls more than it suits boys. Results for boys go up by including girls, but the inverse is not true; girls results get markedly worse when in school with boys.

I'll see if I can find something.

The old boy at the start nearly bursting into tears coz his grandson would have to go to school with girls

Not sure anything existing the way it has for 160 years is inherently a great argument for not changing it.

 

[Aussie in exile]

Some people quote woke without understanding the origin of the word

 

[CM86]

Sorry, but at some point someone needs to address the fact that Woolworths was literally responding to the conversation pursued by a clickbait media.

And the questions they were asked, lead to their statement about individual stores stocking tat, and that they are aware of the conversation around Ausday, that was put to them, by the media.


At no point was Ausday tat not available to purchase from Woolies.
At no point did Woolies state anything against Ausday.

But because they responded to questioning, by saying 'no shit, we are aware that this is a national discussion fuelled by racist ****heads'. The screaming minority have made it their mission to explain how an obvious business decision is somehow an elaborate plot by Soros!!!

 

[Cap]

I think plenty would agree they shouldn’t be competing in women’s comps….

I'm genuinely curious, what difference does it make in surfing

Why do they even have men's and women's?
