" . . . woke politics and cancel culture are now ubiquitous. Overflowing the walls of the ivory tower, they have saturated the airwaves and social media. Once-serious leftist journalists now refer to 'pregnant people' and 'Latinx' (why would an ethnic group want to sound like a porn site?), while people of color 'experts' seem to spend more time braiding their hair than cracking their books. Every website's become a dating app as professionals list their pronouns beside their names. Whenever I see he/him or she/her I think fuck/you. You must be living an awfully precious life if, amid the pervasive despair of an economy in free fall, your uppermost concern is clinging to your pronouns."
