This being culturally rejected by the same America that has itself twice rejected women candidates for president in favour of a man who now has 34 felony convictions, does not surprise me.
But it does disappoint me.
I remember when the right wing were complaining about Star Trek having a woman as a captain for the first time with Voyager. That there had already been women admirals on screen by that point suggested they had not actually watched it, and I thought it was silly.
I remember learning that British politician Ann Widdecombe changed from Church of England to Roman Catholic, citing that the "ordination of women was the last straw", and I thought it was silly.
Back then, actually putting effort into equal opportunity for all was called "political correctness gone mad" by those opposed to it — but I guess the attention span is no longer sufficient to use four-word-phrases as rhetorical applause lights, so y'all switched to a century old word coined by African Americans who wanted to make sure they didn't forget that the Civil War had only ended literal slavery, not changed the attitudes behind it.
This history makes the word itself a very odd thing to encounter in Europe, where we didn't have that civil war — forced end of Empire shortly after World War 2, yes, but none of the memes from the breakaway regions of that era even made it back to this continent, and AFAICT "woke" wasn't one of them anyway. I only know I'm called a "mzungu" by Kenyans because of the person who got me to visit the place.
