Popular Post Designer1 Posted April 2 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 2 As I've said elsewhere, I think it's funny (and very, very telling) when someone uses Woke as a pejorative term. It outs the throbbers nicely. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 When I worra lad at primary school (about 1990) we had a school production of “The Lollipop Lady”, however, a boy was cast in the lead role and it was rebranded as “The Lollipop Fella”. We really were ahead of our time. Even Disney hadn’t thought of doing that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, you can be intersex and have ovaries, and even be a woman either with a defect leading to no ovaries, or already had them removed. I just don't see the issue with the language here, it isn't woke, it just doesn't hurt anyone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some women have already had them removed due to previous medical episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's recognising their disadvantage, understanding their issues and is able to suggest forms of media or other people who may be more considering of their societal needs. It's as woke as woke can be.

I think they offered a more needs based, tailored, and IQ matched form of media to Jonathan Gullis but he just ate the crayons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Even if these multi coloured flags aren't personally to my taste, I bloody love them now due all the sad, angry, throbby, right wing snowflakes they are triggering. Bloody hilarious, keep em coming! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the issue with the language here, it isn't woke, it just doesn't hurt anyone. I've seen doctors arguing it is unnecessarily complicating the medical message, particularly for people who aren't very intelligent or don't speak English as a first language, who are the disadvantaged people that these sorts of campaigns actually need to reach (whereas the categories of people you're referring to are presumably very well-informed about ovaries already). I've not seen any data either way so I've no idea how much of an effect it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it is very "woke" But I'm using "woke" in the exact way it was originally meant to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
