Long before Etch-a-Sketch, there was Wooly Willy (and many variations). Iron filings, anyone? Wooly Willy was, ironically, used in ads for shaving! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooly_Willy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only means they need to wake up more! It really has nothing to do with "woke", but simply the fact that societies (hopefully) evolve over time and learn to be safer about things and not a-holes & bigots about other things, etc.... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not you had anything in common really doesn't depend on age. You have different personalities and interests. That's all. I have very little in common with the vast majority of people my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 These are a couple of my truly hated 'feminine shaving' commercials from the past decade or so. I always cringed whenever I saw them - they are so tacky, IMO. The first one is not only tacky, but totally stupid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I twisted it all up a bit, albeit briefly as I really didn't want to get into politics too much. I reclaimed the word woke as something good, meaning 'awareness of injustice in society', as it was previously used until hijacked by the right to criticize the left. When people use the word 'woke' to criticize the concerns of the left they typically are invalidating the social justice concerns and saying they have no validity. Social justice concerns are fighting against, as you say, "the bigots and the a-holes". We need to reclaim the word, take it back so those who say being woke (aware) is a bad thing are not defining it anymore, and make it what it has always been before the GOP hijacked it to criticize liberals (first used by Blacks, btw). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it means "aware", why can we not just say that instead of inventing new words? It is used in a negative way by both sides. There are folks on the left that use it to insult the right and there are folks on the right that use it insultingly towards the left. Go back to the word 'aware' that has been around forever and much of that implied insulting goes away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
