When Elon Musk took over Twitter last month, many celebrated it as the death knell for ‘wokeism’, which Musk described as “divisive” and “hateful”. It was a cultural watershed, a welcome reversal of an “agenda” set by “hard line” progressives bent on upending society as we know it.
While ‘woke’ (i.e. being conscious of societal ills like racism and sexism) is a word worn by some with pride, among other groups it’s a term that garners much eye-rolling and snorts of cynicism. And law, it seems, is one such sector where the backlash is proving rather unsubtle.
