What does woke even mean?

It means staying awake, staying aware and thinking, not sleepwalking through life.

Implies the use of critical thinking. No wonder they hate it.

I have an MSc from a top UK university, my dissertation topic was labour abuse and work-related harm for which I received a distinction. I'm no puritan, but genuine "sex work" (outside the internet) is overwhelmingly negative for the actual workers and very few enter the industry from a position of personal or economic empowerment. This is the case to a shocking degree, even where it's decriminalised. I'm not against it, per se, but it confuses me when people are strongly for it. So yeah, stay woke.

I think most people who've actually thought about it would say either "sensitivity to and awareness of the plight of marginalized people" or the same but with "oversensitivity", depending on which side of it you're on.
