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

Im well informed but I’m quite entitled to have an opinion trans women shouldn’t be competing against cis gender women.

What does that have to do with the RipCurl 'controversy'?

The trans surfer in question entered and won a female event

Don't exaggerate.

The trans surfer in question entered and won a female event

What event? And when?


The Ripcurl thing, is purely on the fact that they supported her in an article.

It's trans inclusion that you're viciously fighting against, with no reason to support your position.

The anti-RipCurl sentiment is based on nothing other than culture war bullshit imported from the US. And clung to by desperate losers who missed out on Bitcoin and BudLight, but want to be part of something.

How many events did she enter and not win?

Do you even know how surfing competitions, specifically longboarding, are scored?

Surfing is woke. That's why they often do it early in the morning.

I woke up and went for a surf.

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.

Reading the comments section of the change.org petition on this is quite revealing/distressing.

Was going to quote sections from posts but any form of editing would not do justice to their eloquence. This one in particular is destined for the pool room.

Lol at the chinless one saying that the single sex school is what the boys signed up for like they had any choice in the matter at all.

That has to be written by a satirical troll, right? That cannot be genuine , surely?

The reaction is really weird - these old money losers really do hate women if they think their education will suffer

 

[Gough]

Big "we want to be an English Public School" vibes.

The glory of western civilisation sort of curriculum which is very Arts based somewhat ironically, plenty of Churchill, Shakespeare and the glories of Empire with nary a word about the mess left behind.

Or rather the little blue book for closeted misogynists.

I think its an eloquently crafted pisstake grafted from more than a kernel of truth tbh.

I genuinely hope that old codger literally crying about his non-existent grandson not being able to attend an all-boys school becomes as widely mocked and re-memed as the 'right in front of me' dude

Old mate should be celebrating because now if he has a Granddaughter she can also now be included in this weird family legacy of attending the same school the high point and defining achievement of their lives

Nassim Taleb once said virtue signaling was "courage without sacrifice, which is why it is so popular".

That sums up woke once and for all.

That will do me.

Right - except virtue signalling isn't exclusive to the wing of politics considered 'woke' at all though

So do you want to expand on that little nugget , or are you just going to leave it hanging there like an inconsequential piece of dried excrement?

I think you've answered your own question.

Here's my two cents, virtue signaling usually comes from those with fringe world views, those who are easily offended whether for themselves or on behalf of others. Usually hyperbolic points of view.
