It’s crazy, isn’t it? I live in this world too but no one discusses it. The best I can do is walk away when people start talking in a certain way. I am surprised by my own timidness, to be honest, and have sooo much respect for people who stood up in the past. This takes huge guts. I will lose my job if I say, hey, saying the reason that a certain initiative failed is not because of white men but because the idea and/or the execution didn’t make much sense.

I had a friend who was super woke at one point and I couldn’t talk to her about stuff (of this nature) for a couple of years. Kind of like religion I figured, which was fine. She’s a therapist and recently said - I’m getting more and more people from academia telling me things… like the weird rules and the oppressive environment… is this true? I mean, this sounds like they’re making it up but they are the same stories…

Yep. It’s true. I actually wish I was super woke because I feel like an alien
