There's political activism that's related to your employment/career, and then there's political activism unrelated to your employment/career.

Discussing career related political activism at work - such as unionization, or fair pay, because it actively affects you in the workplace - is fine to me.

However, woke politics, like gender equality, abortion, or some other trending topic that is unrelated to your workplace, should be discouraged. Things like that are more akin to religion - it's private, and should be kept off the workplace. Do it in your own private time, with people who also want to do it in their private time.



Gender equality is the law of the land, it's not (or at least shouldn't be) a "woke" topic.
