I find the use of the words Woke Nancy Boy offensive.
I regard it as offensive as racist phraseology.

Woke, Nancy Boy, Snowflake. All derogatory terms used by the right wing to describe what they see as weak or liberal traits. Just As those of the left use Fascist and Nazi to describe the right. All offensive to someone. The best advice has already been given by the moderation team. Don't feed the trolls.

nancyboy (plural nancyboys) (slang, derogatory) Synonym of nancy: an effeminate man, especially an effeminate homosexual. Dave the dictionary definition is   offensive term for gay people

I have no idea if it is or it isn't, Dick. My point still stands. Any phrase used in a derogatory manner is offensive to someone. The policy at Mudcat central is to ignore flame bait and trolling. I try, and often fail, to follow that. You choose to highlight it. Neither action is entirely right or wrong. Both have merits and downsides. Discussing how to conduct arguments is never likely to end well though.

Offence is something you take. You have a choice. I'd worry far more about being lied about or misrepresented than about being offended (though both things can happen at the same time).

Just filling a short gap between making a blackberry cheesecake for tonight’s tea, and an hour’s practice on the Lowden. If that’s OK with you of course, Bonzo.

I can't be arsed being offended by mere words.. sticks and stones...

However use of such words conveniently identifies the users as bigots to beware of..

Let these reactionary fukwits keep on outing themselves,
by saying and writing such provocative vocabulary...

I'll add..

As much as I dislike and fear the rapidly growing normalisation of right wing bigotry,

I also can't stand the rise of intolerant over-sensitive puritanical control-freaks
taking over the left..

What a bunch of mean spirited miseries at both ends of the political spectrum...

I'm closing this, as it's just provocation.

There are many offensive things said here. You have a choice to notice, then wave at them as they drift gradually into the past, or grab them by the throat and invite all your supposed friends to beat the shit out of them.

Learn how to wave bye-bye. (You choose the number of fingers used.)
