Depends on the definition. Brother-in-law's new GF came to visit us last Thanksgiving, he called my wife and asked her if we could eat outside because GF didn't want to eat inside in a closed environment, also stated she would wear a mask and not to get too offended.
Virtue signaling, yes, but not "woke".

White girl got fired from a cushy state job for an email that had a meme of a black woman, and it was nothing derogatory.
Someone complained, she got fired and its almost impossible to get fired from those positions.

Your bro in law dodged one but has shitty taste.
He has brought home some absolute headcases, but I will give the man credit... for rentals only they appear to be properly rated on the crazy/hot scale for the short-term fun he has. I never saw this girl in person, but when my wife was doing the stalking and talking shite with her friends about her... she also appeared to be very much in-line with the scale appropriate to her level of crazy.
I will say if I am ever single again Northeast Utah will be one of my top destinations for me to relocate to.

unless you're already established or actually have a high demand skill/education, i think it's probably wise for white males to move away from corporate office work

My son and I did a charity event the other night to give him some more volunteer hours for Nat'l Honor Society. We helped a group of folks make sandwiches / lunch for parent's of kids that are in a couple of pediatric centers around here. You know, kids w cancer or other life threatening illnesses.
The leader of the charity, great guy, brought his "daughter", who is a freshman in high school. She was shorter, thin, wore glasses, and had her hair dyed green (no shite). While talking to her dad while we were working I referred to "her" as "she". He lowered his voice and told me she prefers the non-gender pronoouns like "they". I was taken aback.
Talked to my son (18 yo senior in high school) about it on the way home. He told me his take is that people that age are sometimes just confused and would work through it. I agree with him. But what do I know.

All the time if you count conversation. I've never been at the mercy of an extreme leftist for anything of value like a sale or promotion as far as I know, so my strategy is to be aloof and deprive them of the attention they are looking for.
I don't talk about things that trigger those children while I'm working unless I know the person well. They're not all blue hair nonbinary pin cushions with trans toddlers, so be careful what you say in a professional setting.

The best one was I called a tranny a ‘he’ - oopsie

I go to HQ every couple of months for a week and I make it a point to interact as little as possible in casual settings. I do the meetings and one-on-one conversations about business but I don't go out to dinner or drinks with anyone other than a couple of guys around my age that I trust. It's too easy to make one comment or tell one joke that gets reported to HR.
What's such BS about it is that everyone can be having a good time and participating and then someone can cherry pick a single comment and report it with no context. It's just not worth it to me to be around people who are waiting around to be victims.

I was at a law school and a certain population of students had multiple open zoom meetings with the dean because I had the nerve to ask "why are people from outside of this country entitled to enter this country?" in class one time.
I attended the meeting for the lulz and the whining.
The students insisted that there was a "white supremacist" movement supported by the administration. At an HBCU.

Have a silver spoon niece that has always been a woke bleeding heart. Graduated college and joined some Teach For America and got shipped off to some shite hole middle school in Mississippi. She didn't even make it to Thanksgiving break and quit. Every get together she's picking fights with people about politics meanwhile my brother in law pays for all her shite. Just a worthless idiot.

customer is probably late 20s. My installer was talking about how the military has gone woke
Your installer is a fricking idiot for discussing wokeness with a customer.
this. unforced error on his part.
and i'm as anti-woke as you can get, but just like i don't want their politics brought up, i don't bring up mine.
ETA: in my life and career, the only wokeness i encounter is unqualified people getting promotions and positions based on race and gender. i'm in network technology and i know really sharp people across all spectrums. there are few hires, where they are obviously there for the diversity and it usually shows.
we had a customer who was wholly unqualified for a CTO position come in and rip out a bunch of product and was lauded for saving money. One of those products was a higher end endpoint/ransomware product and 6 months later his active directory, phone server, and exchange server were all ransomwared because he put a cheap product on there. He did not remain.
Double ETA: i guess with TV i have to deal with it. there's plenty of woke stuff that is still a good product. if it's not beating me over the head and is still entertaining, i can watch it. if it's not entertaining and trying to be woke, there's enough other things that don't insult me to watch.
