Unfortunately, the term "woke" is being smeared by conservatives, and there's
not clear clear consensus on what it means to liberals.  That being said, what's
wrong with treating people of different sexual orientations, or racial and
cultural backgrounds, with the basic respect due any human being?  What's wrong
with addressing people in the manner they wish to be addressed?  What's wrong
with being upset at humor made at the expense of people in some minority, or
that perpetuates negative stereotypes?  What's wrong with condeming statements
that belittle or denigrate others?

It seems to me that not all, but most of the people complaining about "wokeness"
are upset at being called out for acting like an asshole.
