Vogue Magazine tweeted: “If you’re a woke guy, here is how to get involved on March 8 without stepping on toes, or mansplaining activism.” The tweet included a link to their article, “What Men Can Do To Support The Women’s Strike.”
The article includes a handy cheat sheet for busy woke fellas who don’t have time to read a whole article in Vogue magazine.
A Cheat Sheet for March 8—Ally Edition
- Pick up the domestic slack: do the housework, feed the kids, babysit, prepare the meals, etc.
- Organize a strike in your workplace; involve your union.
- If you’re a student, join a walkout, participate in a convention or organized campus discussion on women’s and global rights, join a march.
- Take a break from porn and do some soul-searching on what kind of pornography or sex work you support. Ask yourself, Am I contributing to the exploitation of sex workers?
- Join protests, marches, go hear the speeches.
- Spread awareness and make your support public. (Note: This does not mean post something to Twitter; do that, sure, but also talk to the people around you about what’s going on.)
Tweeters had their own pithy remarks to offer:
- “Alright awful stupid guys with your awful penises, LISTEN UP. if you want to be HELPFUL”
- “You may ride on the bus with us. But only if you sit at the back.”
- Is woke the new word for whipped?
- Vogue: You misspelled “emasculated.”
- “Take a break from porn”? Is “woke” the new word for “disgusting pig”?
- A day without liberal feminists – Hip, Hip Hooray!!!!
- My purpose today is to step on toes and mansplain.
- If you’re a woke guy, avoid feminists and feminism. They don’t represent real women.
- REAL men don’t need to be told to help with the chores and they kids. THEY ALREADY DO IT.
- Vogue: You have 12.5 million followers, but most of yr tweets have zero responses, RTs in single digits. Better hope yr advertisers don’t notice.

I first heard “woke” used as an adjective just a short time ago, and I thought it must be a typo, since it made no sense at all. I was trying to figure out what the person had intended to say that got butchered into “woke.” I was so disappointed to find out that it wasn’t a typo. (We English majors take all these assaults on the English language very personally.)

Using “woke” as an adjective springs from gerund envy. Or mental illness…

‘Take a break from porn’? The ladies at Vogue need to start hanging with a higher class of guy!

They probably don’t know any normal men, since normal men don’t fraternize with feminists.

That’s cuz they’re NORMAL. Any man who hangs with feminists has to have some kind of personality disorder that causes them to seek out abusive relationships.

At one time there was a distinction between hard- and soft-core porn. Vogue exists for the single reason to blur the line. Guess it’s asking too much of them to fess up and own it.
