Aha... Woke moralism. The new Conservative moral majority.

The story you link is not about the woke, why do you imagine that it is? Would it be a result of the following sentence that appears within?
Quilette Opinion Piece said:Long before the woke Left was imagining systemic oppression everywhere, the anti-sex movement (an alliance of the religious Right and radical feminists) was identifying a deeply serious—yet strangely hard to quantify—problem: our fourth trend, sex trafficking.
If so, I don't think that says anything at all about the woke, except for the author's own idea about what the woke "imagine". Which is fucking stupid because there is systemic oppression, and you somehow think that the disposable comment that they see it "everywhere" make this relevant to the discussion. It does not do so. The linked article adds nothing to the conversation, other than showing once again that some will search for any negative quote about the woke that fits their preconceived notions, and link it here without any sense of what the article surrounding it even means.
The fact that there is systematic oppression in no way justifies woke. Being against woke isn't to ignore systematic oppression.
In the left woke has become wedded to any opposition to racism and sexism, as if they're inseparable. I think it's wrong, counter productive and a dangerous position. I am sure it will inevitably lead to a conservative reaction, because woke is dominant and also so dumb. If the left thinks that woke is inseparable from being left, why wouldn't the conservatives also think that?
Woke is moralism, witch hunts, virtue signaling and political theatre. Zero substance. All the stuff we used to associate with conservatives.
It's absolutely the same dangerous and idiotic ideology.
