The ‘Dangerous Rise’ of Right-Wing Men Who Refuse to Date ‘Woke’ Women – Opinion

Just when you thought the “woke” among us couldn’t get any “woker”…

As we, and pretty everyone else, reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on New Year’s Eve blasted out what was perhaps the most ridiculous and bizarre tweet the erstwhile bartender has ever tweeted — no small feat — in which she suggested Republicans are “mad” because “they can’t date [her],” so they “project their sexual frustrations onto [her] boyfriend’s feet.”

Best part? You are completely clueless.

If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet.

Memo to AOC: While it’s true that This Republican “can’t” date you — for other reasons — I wouldn’t date you with a proverbial 10-foot pole if I could. Just sayin’. And, welp, it appears that I’m not alone in my aversion to “woke” women or woke anyone or anything else.

Even worse, we now learn that there is a “dangerous rise” in the number of men who share my aversion, as reported by Refinery29.

As British “journalist,” documentary filmmaker, and activist Vicki Platt sees it, it’s “fitting” that the “white man of the moment,” Platt’s fellow-Brit, actor, and activist Laurence Fox recently “told the world” he does not “date woke women.” Oh, the humanity!

Ms. Platt, of course, was mortified by Fox’s comments — dare I say verklempt? Which she promptly shared with her fellow “ladies.”

Have you heard? [the latest], ladies? Laurence Fox – who you perhaps only knew as Billie Piper’s ex-husband because you’ve never seen Lewis (what?) – does not date “woke” women who he believes are being taught that they are “victims” — irrespective of whether they are right or not.

[…]

[H]e also doesn’t believe in white privilege, irrespective of the fact that he works in a painfully undiverse industry, was privately educated, and comes from a wealthy acting family which is nothing short of a dynasty.

All of these things didn’t sit well for Miss Vicki. It gets “better.”

Platt played then the sexism and racism. Donald Trump card on Fox, given that he’s obviously a right-wing racist, misogynist, and horrid politically-incorrect sub-human being.

Fox refuses to acknowledge racism or sexism, regardless of the fact that they do exist. It’s nothing short of gaslighting. It’s all very Donald Trump. It’s all very Donald Trump.

I could go over all the things he’s said [Oh I bet she could — verbatim]. I could show him data. I could also express my concern over his mental well-being (afterall, who doesn’t enjoy arguing with others on Twitter).I could joke about his behavior. However, all that would miss the point.

So, what’s the point, again, Miss Vicki? Tell us.

There’s nothing funny about the things Fox – or Wokey McWokeface as he now wants to be known – is saying. It’s also not particularly sad. It’s dangerous.

This man is one of the most privileged men in this world, and he has received a platform as a result. He has made use of that platform to justify a greater backlash against diversity, and the progress taking place every day in lesser-known corners on the internet.

Not wanting to date “woke” women, far from being laughable, is actually one of the more insidious aspects of it. Spend an afternoon on any major dating app and you’ll come across (generally white) men saying openly sexist and misogynistic things. They might say “no psychos” or that they “f**king hate big eyebrows” in their bios.

They are also more inclined to view liberal thinking as a threat and hold extreme right-wing views.

Although I may be mistaken, I feel a little bit of bitterness here.

Is it possible to imagine living like that? I am a bitter leftist. I envision these people waking up every morning, jumping online, and immediately looking for the first story that offends them… the first news item on which to drop their trusty victim card.They move onto the next one. They move onto the next. They are angry when they go to bed and eager the next morning to start the horrible routine.

My mind can only picture how awful this must be.

Then again, I’ve become convinced through the years that people like Vicki Platt actually Accept their screwed up worldIt’s as if this gives them a weird sense of power over all the Laurence Foxes in the world.

Very sad, Miss Vicki.
