Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism.
Then the term got highjacked by insecure individuals who think equal rights are akin to pieces of pie. more for "them" = less for them.
