No. I don't call any of them that to their faces.
I use the term when speaking to irrelevant people like you, Sweetie.
Call your Dr a broad next time you see her
Fucking liar

I think that somebody like John McWhorter ought to know the definition of woke, considering that he's a black linguistics professor at Columbia. He's also written extensively on the subject including his latest book, Woke Racism. It's truly hilarious that white ambulance chasers like Jarhead think they know more than him.
Here is an excellent review about his book
New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed linguist John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening the American social fabric.
Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We’re told to read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is “appropriation.” We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we’ll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion—and one that’s illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist.
In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of “white privilege” and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the “woke mob.” He shows how this religion that claims to “dismantle racist structures” is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called “antiracism,” but it features a racial essentialism that’s barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past.
Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it’s not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black America.

Calling people something and referring to them as something are two completely different things, Love.
Why? John McWhorter is far more eloquent and knowledgeable than either of us on the subject of racism and wokeness. Do you think that only white liberals can contribute to the debate?
Woke is not synonymous with the traits that you mention.
It's synonymous with psychotic hypersensitivity.
And I'm a hard left progressive saying that.
I strongly disagree. When we started using the words they and theirs in singular usage to placate feminists, that's when woke revealed itself to me as toxic.
The purity of the King's English is more important than the feelings of hypersensitive broads with not enough to do.
You don’t respect women
You tolerate them and pretend to respect them
Then complain on the internets that they should never complain about when they are treated like shit
Fucking loser
You have cited him and posted his works multiple times in the past, presumably in hope that it'll "get through" to us.
John McWhorer has not tracked the root of "woke" back to it's own origin but made up his own definition of it to suit his narrative.
As a Black man, he should be aware of racism that has existed for 100's of years. He is a traitor to Black Americans everywhere. His "elitism" does not shield him from criticism.
I don't treat like them like shit.
For the most part, I treat them like men except in the rare instances where that's not appropriate.
I'm a political progressive who loathes the superficialities of "woke."
There's no necessity for you to like it, Honey. We don't even know each other except as internet posters.
Women shouldn’t tell you to stop insulting them because it makes you feel bad

There is big bucks in writing stuff that makes white men stop crying
The definition isn’t a secret. “Stay woke” dates from the 1930’s. The musician Lead Belly used it. It was a warning to black Americans to be alert to the discrimination around them. The term fell out of use until recently when it resurfaced and is now used mainly as a mocking insult by whites.
I respect women enough to expect them to speak the language properly, and most of the intelligent ones that I know do just that.
I assume that I need have lower expectations for you, Honeylips.
FTFY
