Taffy Brodesser-Ackner is the author of one of the most exuberantly woke novels I ever read. It was published in 2020, and I wasn’t going to give this writer a second chance. When her new book came out last month, though, I decided to try it. And guess what? Brodesser-Ackner is now poking fun at the wokesters she worshipped only 4 years ago.
Here’s her description of a militant left-winger who is trying to impose ideological conformity on a Hollywood movie studio:
She was eager to “disrupt” even the most well-planned ongoing storylines and general, viewer-loved plot points with every social issue she could think of: sexual violence, sexual freedom, sexual terrorism, feminism, racial tension, voting rights, sex positivity, period positivity, pronoun use. Anya had created what she called a “Diversity Worksheet,” a veritable bingo board of these issues that each production should aim to include three of in each season: suicide, mental illness, guns, healthcare for all, “grooming,” border walls, segregation in schools, redlining, roofies, endometriosis, body positivity, Donald Trump’s tax returns, homophobia, Islamophobia, Islamophilia, juicing, “the refugee situation,” voter suppression, the prevalence of HPV. Plus there were five different kinds of abortion—second-term, back-alley, legal, accidental (!), third-term—that she wanted the shows to address. Anya could not get enough of the various ways there were to abort a pregnancy.
Long Island Compromise
Brodesser-Ackner writes about and for wealthy people. And it looks like they’ve tired from the earnestness of “social justice” and are ready to poke fun at it.

It’s tragic that so many people have to suffer just because the wealthy and not so wealthy elites are in thrall to a pernicious ideology to whose tenets they are paying lip service at best when they are not using it to advance their own very private interests.
