The poetic titan of Twitter, ultra-woke voice of her generation Titania McGrath (recently revealed to be the creation of comedian Andrew Doyle), is now a published author<\/a>:<\/p>\n

… Titania McGrath, the radical intersectional feminist poet who verbally bombards the \u201cwhite supremacist patriarchy.\u201d A malcontent who is fed up with us ignoramuses, McGrath has published her first book. Simply titled Woke: A Guide to Social Justice<\/em>, it\u2019s a manifesto written in prose possessing a revolutionary zeal so potent Che Guevara would lecherously swoon and request that she provide him with remedial education in social revolution.<\/p>\n

McGrath addresses the vast intricacies of wokeness and responds to the counterarguments that the agents of the patriarchy often make. She also outlines how this puritanical movement can attract converts. Her insight is sought after since, after all, \u201cour society is a slumbering beast that has been trapped in its coma for far too long.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proving to be Winston Churchill\u2019s 21st-century equivalent, McGrath teabags \u201cthe foes of justice with a gender-neutral scrotum.\u201d And challenges the \u201cillusion of freedom\u201d to extirpate Nazis and destroy any other obstacles to the \u201cIntersectional Socialist Utopia.\u201d<\/p>\n

We all live in a \u201cheteronormative patriarchy\u201d that\u2019s a \u201cTyranny of Facts\u201d erected by the \u201cScourge of Whiteness.\u201d Knowledge is a \u201cpatriarchal construct\u201d that is only convenient for those who want to strengthen the white male authoritarians\u2019 grip on power. So what must we do to rectify this?<\/p>\n

According to McGrath, our society is almost irreparably \u201cunwoke,\u201d and we might have to implement drastic purgatory measures. We shall be heedful of the wisdom of brave reformists like Hannah Gadsby and eradicate anything offensive. Reforming things like comedy and any other art form perceived to be toxically masculine should be our first priority. Scientists will also tremble at the feet of these woke revolutionaries. As McGrath avers: \u201cThe idea that knowledge is more important than feelings is everything that is wrong with the field of modern science.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a knack for conflict analysis that would rival Churchill\u2019s, McGrath identifies our real enemies with panache. \u201cEvery sperm is an invader\u201d if you didn\u2019t know, and those who commit cultural genocide by doing yoga are civilization\u2019s true adversaries. As are compilers of the English dictionary who give credence to antediluvian definitions of racism that enable us to think a person of colour can also be racist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
