I was in a 7-year relationship to a woke woman, until about two years ago. One dynamic I have noticed is, such woke come to act like I represent all the awful things every man has ever done to them, and the awfulness of men generally, even as I had to emasculate myself and accept certain woke tenants just to be in the relationship. I finally realized, there is no hope if I have to answer for the ills of other men. I am done emasculating myself.

I had been living in a very liberal city. I am living in conservative country now. Even here, most women are unapproachable, the women I have met online have all ghosted me, the only ones who have seem interested are married or are carrying 50lbs of HFCS. I have been contemplating a kind of monasticism.

Geez, writing it out I sound bitter.

You forgot the sequel: the accusations of sexual misconduct vs. candidate Biden. "Believe women" went right out the window, even though the accusations were far more substantial than anything leveled at Kavanaugh. There was corroborating evidence against Biden, and innumerable instances of creepy behavior that anyone can go confirm on YouTube. Didn't matter, suddenly due process was sacred again, suddenly women weren't always to be believed anymore, and no one showed up to support Tara Reid LARPing as a Handmaid.

Also worth mentioning might have been the Depp/Heard trial that riveted the planet, wherein the accuser who'd been believed was exposed as guilty of exactly the abuse she'd supposedly suffered.

For the record, I don't pretend to know for certain if Biden is guilty or Depp innocent, only that that's what the preponderance of available evidence suggests. What is clear is that "the woke" don't care about evidence, only identity.
