Now, I certainly recognize the quality of this material for jokes, "it's a well known and accepted synonym" and all that, but ignoring this use for comedic entertainment - How can even the wokest of the woke justify a change like this? It sure seems to break the "equal and inclusive" claim, doesn't it? (But it's still funny - could be turned into a great joke by a skilled comedian, provided they hadn't previously been canceled by the mob.)

Does that really surprise you? The wokest of the woke don't like men.
