What does woke mean to you?

[Sarky B’stard]

Close but you don't get the cigar.

There's a whole heap of perversion! Much of it is linguistic.....

Consider 'normal' and 'average'. I find the mathematical approach helps. When it comes to sexual orientation it is 'normal' to be heterosexual (I.e. different sex) as opposed to homosexual (same sex). However a population without homosexuals would be abnormal.

(Don't forget those words stem from Greek, not Latin so the inventors of the word homophobe were no Classicists. It means 'fear of the same' which is the exact opposite of what they intended. However, I digress!)

Mathematically 'normal' describes a distribution, a natural range of positions

where most of the population is in the middle ground with fewer and fewer at the edges the weirder you get. (Weird is a pejorative word which I use to describe something literally eccentric (farther from the middle) but it highlights the importance of perspective looking from the middle out rather than the outer edge in......) So, it turns out that it is entirely normal to have gay people in the population but being gay isn't normal; it's an outlying position.

When it comes to 'average' you have a similar problem. You can add your totals up and divide them by the number of totals to find an average but that's a middle line that doesn't cover most people who are either side of the line. Mathematically we distinguish the 'middle average' (the median being the absolute middle value) as the 'mean' but also have a 'mode' which is the most common grouping where the greatest population lies.

Consequently you end up with a standard deviation

And we're all in there somewhere. Deviants, the lot of you!

Happy now?

Only you could turn what was basically a statement saying..."Middle aged transgender folk baffle me"...

Into a history & maths lesson!

I wouldn't change you though. It takes all sorts to make a world. We probably need a headmaster figure to keep us in line?
Just don't push your luck, OK!

I'm amazed it was taken seriously. It was just a convoluted joke to say we're all pervs and deviation is mostly a matter of perspective. Big Boy.

I've been saying this for decades. White liberal lefties cause more problems than they claim to wish to solve ...

IMO it is a wider plan, and as always look at the chain of who funds them

I love this guy & his ability to ridicule the ridiculous whilst keeping a straight face (most of the time)...

Last Friday part of the 'Blob' at work wanted to change the way my team works to make it the same as everyone else, ie worse for us and for our students

Various emails fly back and forth, until I say 'As this disproportionally impacts upon international students, was a EDI* impact study carried out?' *EDI = Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Blob backtracks and we can carry on as before

I love turning their weapons back on 'em!

Is it possible that this is the first high profile example of a successful resistance of "woke"?

BBC News - The Family Sex Show cancelled amid threats and abuse at staff

Nearly 40,000 people signed a petition calling on the theatre performance to be axed.

I think it's the first sign of successful resistance to a bunch of deviants trying to make money out of exposing young children to things they shouldn't be exposed to until they are old enough to truly understand what it all means. I think there is a special place in hell for people who try to twist the young to their predilections when they are at their most malleable for no other reason than because they think that they, in their infinite wisdom, know better than centuries of 'ordinary people' and think they are trailblazers of their 'new normal'.

 

[Sarky B’stard]

I have a strong sense the tide is turning against all forms of pc and cancel culture. Folk have had enough of being told the think like f***wits and accept the ridiculous and sinister liked 'tooled up wimmin' In girls' toilets.

We can all hope your right Sarky I dread for my grandkids future.

I bet there are thousands of folk on Twitter exactly like this comedy character. All shitting themselves that Elon Musk will bring some much needed common sense to the platform.
No more screaming about something being "hate speech" until it's removed. When in reality, it's just an opinion that they don't like.
No more getting users removed from the platform for using hurty words.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind!

See (since I‘ve been coming out of the closet on here) one of the things those woke folks trying to convince me of when I tell them, I am a pervert, is that I am perfectly normal… HELL: which I am NOT! Who the fuck are they trying to fool?
If 95 percent of society feel or think one way or another, that is the standard. The rest is perverted. Which means nothing else than ‚not normal’.
And if men and women are biologically designed to multiply, then a queer is a pervert. Fullstop.

That does not mean I consider myself as a lesser person. For this there are too many ‚normal‘ assholes crossing my way each day.

But one of the facts that these woke folks cannot accept is that being abnormal does not mean to be the thing we all strive to be.
