Wokeism became more dominant when George Floyd was killed and such events override who's in the White House. These days, people are witnessing men getting gold medals at the Olympics for beating up on women, and it's not lost on people, either. I still think that ordinary liberals can save face better when they feel in charge. However, it's also possible that the equivalent of my feeling about Republicans applies: we have to hope that Republicans will abandon their autocracy-and-lies platform after they lose the next election and dump Trump. The analogy would suggest that the Democrats just need to get whooped or they won't learn their to lesson, either. I'm not sure it's equivalent, though.
If I correctly understand the story, the main case of what you are describing as men beating up on women was a "man" who was morphologically female, had a female body, but turned out to be genetically male. That's a much less clear case than a man who claims to be a woman or even a man who has been surgically altered to a facsimile of a woman. Given the existence of people who are not unambiguously male or female, it's unclear how they should be classified for athletic purposes.

At a tangent...

But was there something special in Floyd case?
Seems like normal "criminal dies in confrontation with police"-case, worse things probably happening every year.
It was more like someone was searching for an excuse to start a fight, and this was best they found quickly.
