Woke = maximum entitlement + minimizing responsibility + feelings are reality.
Maximum entitlement = they deserve however much money or status or pleasure they want immediately and if they don’t get it it’s abuse. Examples: - A fat woman says its fat phobic to not be attracted to her (the female version of incel entitlement to women) - A young person wants to get paid more straight out of college and doesn’t get their preferred salary. They say that they’re being exploited. - A woman wants a promotion and doesn’t get it. Says the workplace is toxic and has to leave for her mental health Minimizing responsibility = if a person makes a decision then regrets it later, it wasn’t their choice. They were forced/pressured/couldn’t say no. Examples: - A woman decides to sleep with a man. She later regrets it. She says that the person pressured her into sex and she couldn’t say no. - A young person decides to take a job. He doesn’t like aspects of the job. He says that the job was toxic/abusive and he couldn’t say no. Otherwise he’d starve or be homeless etc. - A college-educated woman decides to go into sex work instead of any other job. She says she was forced into sex work. Feelings are reality = if they ever have strong negative emotions such as sadness or fear, it’s because they’re being abused / actually in danger. Examples: - A woman felt scared that if she said no to a man’s sexual advances he’d hurt her career. She takes the fear as evidence that he would hurt her career if she said no, even if she did say no and nothing bad happened. - A black person feels afraid of police officers, which means he’s actually in danger from police officers - A young person felt bad at work, therefore the work was abusive
