Current Affairs What is Woke ?

[COYBL25]

It is like you have fallen for every right wing myth regarding "woke" - all your heads falling off about something you cannot even define.

Beautiful

It’s perfectly acceptable to call him a massive bellend mate, everyone else does.

I’m too woke, ironically

Really? Well OK.

Why is she still banging on about it now every chance she gets? Does she not write any more?

No cause she is crap at actually writing. She had a good idea but HP is appallingly written and full of stereotypes.

This is half the problem. This does describe the 2 extremes. Most people fall in the middle somewhere ...

The irony.

On this topic, and it’s something that I’m very aware of at the moment and trying to navigate so this is a genuine question.

I have a few month old daughter, but when we are out at cafes or restaurants or some shops etc, the baby change is in the women’s toilets. How do I navigate that as a 30 something man while still being respectful/maintaining safe spaces?

And as she gets older and is using a toilet, I’m also not keen on taking her into men’s toilets, again what’s the correct approach?

If baby changing is in the women's bogs you could ask the Mrs to do it, or if you are alone, ask someone (maybe someone who works there) if they're empty, so that you can change the baby.
If:
a) The bogs are busy, wait for the people to come out, before going inside.
b) The bogs are empty, go in, and change the rug rat.

LstoryS, use your common sense at the time. You're a dad with a sprog, people* will get it....


*apart from those wokey leftys who will phone the police when they see you, and report you** to social services as a paedo for taking a female toddler into the male toilets, or going** into the changing facilities with a baby, I mean how dare you, you ****ing pervert? <insert angry gammon face>

** will never happen

Who is the wokest on GOT?

Just want it on the record, and for the avoidance of accusations of bias, that I thought Harry Potter was a load of garbage long before I’d heard of Rowling getting involved in the Trans debate.

Who even remembered Linehan 5 years ago? He is deranged and making a decent amount of money from it

The irony.

She has made billions off it and fair play to her, but it isn’t particularly well written.

Shouldn’t fall on my partner to always do it though. And I agree, should be common sense and people should accept it, but then you have the issue of a 6 foot 4 bloke in the women’s toilets which could be intimidating and takes away the whole idea of a safe space (regardless of the baby).

And my issue about taking her into the men’s is that I don’t particularly want her to see/deal with men’s toilets.

It’s a wider issue really, and everyone should fee they have safe spaces irregardless of gender.

I’m so woke I even have a gender neutral bathroom in my home.

Identify as a woman. Doesn't matter what they think then.

Likewise, but I was told I'm wrong, so...
