The right still references the civil war. So maybe we just need a more charming woke, instead of the angry woke or the timid woke? Fact is language always changes and so do norms. This backlash on some cringe lingo is completely out of proportion. But what actually left us worse off is the takeover of the public conversation by extremist nutjobs.

Progressives absolutely have a non trivial part in annoying and shaming men into fascism. Clavisiular is a direct result of screaming at young men that there is something wrong with them from an early age and they have nobody to talk to without being ridiculed and being lectured about how men are in power and they should suck it up.

There is a whole lot more to it, but do not pretend like the constant finger wagging and shame hasn't played it's part.

I'm not saying we don't fight for equality. I'm just saying that a large chunk of progressive media and individuals go about it poorly.

The New York Times isn't Murdoch owned. You're probably thinking of the New York Post.
