Supplementary #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianGabyHinsliff "Trying to clarify what the UK public understands by the perennially slippery term 'woke', in 2022 the pollsters YouGov asked respondents how well it fitted various contemporary causes. The highest match - above trans rights, no-platforming people whose opinions you dislike, stronger action on climate change and the Black Lives Matter movement itself - was with removing historical statues associated with slavery, like that of Colston. Something about this combination of direct action against a highly symbolic target, and revisiting history through a modern social justice lens, meant that 61% considered it woke. For some, that was perhaps a compliment. But by 2022, a word briefly synonymous with enlightened liberal consciousness - borrowed from a phrase used as far back as the 1930s by black Americans, urging each other to 'stay woke'' to the threat of racial violence - was already becoming what the then Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon called 'a pejorative term of abuse'. The narrative that woke ultimately ate itself, becoming so shrill, sanctimonious and yet simultaneously brittle that a backlash was almost inevitable, has been building ever since it became clear Donald Trump was on course to win a second presidential term. Britain, with its newly elected Labour government, initially seemed sheltered from the prevailing winds. While corporate America scrambled to ditch diversity policies following Trump's victory, only 11% of British firms surveyed by the Institute of Directors planned similar changes." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/jun/10/how-does-woke-start-winning-again #2025_ #BrandYouGov #2022_ #TheoryLinguisticsSocioAfricanAmericanVernacularEnglishAAVE #OrgClassifPPUKScottishNationalPartySNPNicolaSturgeon #TauntSelfRighteousnessSanctimoniousness #PoliticsProgressivismBrittle #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump47thPresident #OrgClassifPPUKLabour #TauntBigBusinessCorporateCorporations #PolicyDiversityEquityAndInclusionDEI

Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianCharlotteEdwardes "'If one is writing honestly about women's lives, it seems self-evident that we have to talk about these issues in a very open way, because they affect everything. They affect how well a woman does. They affect your emotional wellbeing. They get in the way of your dreams. If you're a woman whose dream is to have a family, for example, fibroids can get in the way.' She laughs that she is not trying to raise awareness in an NHS public service announcement sort of way, but because 'I was trying to write about women's lives in a way that feels truthful and wholesome and full for me'. In a different way, arguments that raged around identity and women's biology put Adichie in the headlines in 2017. In an interview with Channel 4 News to highlight the treatment of women, she was asked whether a transgender woman was 'any less of a real woman'. She replied, 'a trans woman is a trans woman'. She went on: 'I think the whole problem of gender in the world is about our experiences. It's not about how we wear our hair or whether we have a vagina or a penis. It's about the way the world treats us, and I think if you've lived in the world as a man with the privileges that the world accords to men and then sort of change gender, it's difficult for me to accept that then we can equate your experience with the experience of a woman who has lived from the beginning as a woman and who has not been accorded those privileges that men are.' In the consequent backlash, Adichie wrote a blogpost expressing horror at the accusations of transphobia and reiterating her support for trans rights. But her desire for openness and frank debate (including with Zoe Williams of this paper, who interviewed her after her Reith Lecture on freedom of speech in 2022) put her at odds with those whose bottom line is: no debate. There is no doubt her career was damaged. Interviews, prizes and talks were cancelled. And she cancelled interviews, too - those that suggested she might want to take the opportunity to apologise. It seemed for a while as if there were only two headlines available: 'Chimamanda apologises' or 'Chimamanda refuses to apologise'. 'It's a cannibalistic ethos,' she told her friend the writer Dave Eggers about sections of the progressive left at the time. 'It swiftly, gleefully, brutally eats its own. There is such a quick assumption of ill will and an increasing sanctimony and humourlessness that can often seem inhumane.'" https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/feb/15/cancel-culture-we-should-stop-it-end-of-story-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-on-backlash-writers-block-and-her-two-new-babies #IdentityLGBTQIATrans #OtheringHateTransphobia #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianZoeWilliams #IRLWriterDaveEggers #TauntSelfRighteousnessSanctimoniousness

We have to start speaking out against such dangerously divisive and regressive ways of thinking. The level of 'toxicity' to society produced by these ill-founded and poorly thought-out ideas far surpasses that of traditional masculinity (or what the left would like you to believe about masculinity, anyway)."
