Can men even have a little bit of fun anymore? I don’t mean the kind of fun that gets innocent and unconsenting persons hurt, I mean simple, goofy, silly fun that doesn’t hurt a fly? I’m tempted to think that the answer is no, we cannot…and I know that many men feel this way deep down inside, they feel that no matter what they do, they’ll become a target for the outrageous criticisms of a certain group of people who are simply looking for something to be upset about. I’m speaking, of course, about the “wokeists.”

“What is a wokeist?” you might be wondering. Wokeism, by my definition, is weaponized personal grievances masquerading as a genuine social concern. It’s defined by its fraudulent nature, as being distinct from legitimate social grievances. Wokeism only knows outrage — it knows not empathy for victims.

Just because we’re outraged by one serious problem in society doesn’t mean we have to turn our filter off and become outraged by everything we see online, no questions asked, no fact-checking done; our filter bubbles make all of this a lot worse, of course.

Wokeism takes many forms, and yes, men can be guilty of it, too. Wokeism is when a renowned scientist is forced to be publicly humiliated over his choice
