      What do they even think "woke" means at this point?

      Decency, empathy, tolerance, equality, reproductive rights, etc - it's a very, very long list.

      The recent thing with Sweeney has actually helped me better understand what they mean by woke. It's all wrapped up in misogyny and objectifying women, that's the main focus of it. They think wokeness is the promotion of the idea they have to settle for "inferior" women, or allow good women to be with "inferior" men. Their antiwokeness gravitates around a central idea that white cis women are theirs to control. So they end up with sexual paranoia about becoming gay, or seeing a black man with a white woman, or they might be forced into respecting women regardless of their sexual characteristics.

        I think they also believe that people who are "woke" are performatively sexless soy drones, and that's why big boobs are anti-woke weapons. They seem to believe that the woke mob hates sex and wants women to cover up or something.
