While understandable in the context of this thread, this analogy is badly wide of the mark in general. The contemporary “woke” left is reactionary, prejudiced, censorious and intolerant - it’s they who are the modern-day Alf Garnetts. It really isn't. While I'm not denying that the people you describe exist, it's also true that 'woke' has become used as a catch-all term for anything even the slightest bit progressive that certain people on the right reject, in precisely the same way that the term 'PC' did. It isn't 'reactionary and prejudiced' to think that it should be ok to have female co-commentators and pundits as well as male ones. I agree of course. I hate the term woke to be honest because it’s a derogatory label which inevitably rapidly fades in meaning and becomes a cliche for people to lean on, which I suppose is what you’re describing. But it does have an accurate original definition and it’s not just “caring about justice and equality”.

If we can nominate our own choice of Woman as the subject of this thread I'd put forward Nicola Sturgeon. She has got so much to say about anything and everything that if it wasn't for her being supposedly an advocate of Scottish Independance, I'd believe that she thought she might be in the running for Prime Minister.

The description of "That Bloody Woman" should be reserved for Nicola Sturgeon.

People ask her about anything and everything, it’s her job to talk about them, just as Johnson has to bumble an incoherent reply and then pass to a scientist who actually knows what he’s talking about!

If women know nothing about football I take that there’s a lot of female contribution on this forum?

Watching Chelsea v Luton right now and this Karen woman co-commentating is right giving me the pip by her continual jabbering on. Anyone else - or is it just me? Even my wife said turn her off

I can’t stand women commentators. I’ve written to sky & bt to complain. They obviously are short changing us using them, must be loads cheaper than an ex-pro man. I played football for over 40 years & managing, on & off at a good level, but that doesn’t mean I’m qualified to give expert inside opinion on the men’s professional game. Same as the women footballers, they haven’t played at that level, so their comments are pointless & similar to us fans.

Yeah, they can only dream of providing the kind of 'expert inside opinion' we hear from Clinton Morrison. All those male pundits who absolutely slated us when we were promoted, presumably their 'expert inside opinion' is something we all apparently value now too is it?

I have now cancelled my Sky and BT subscriptions and refusing to pay my licence fee until all they take women off all sports apart from foxy boxing.

Ex footballers shouldn't comment on refereeing decisions then - as none of them have ever refereed at 'that level'

Even my wife said turn her off She’s probably shocked and jealous that you managed to turn her on. ....sorry could’t help myself, an open goal. Nothing to you sir, solely in the name of bants 🤚

The irony being that her actual name, Karen, is used as an insult against white middle class conservative women. I think that's more of an American thing though.
