Eat your own poop or your own youngs, and we'll agree to disagree.
Just because humans are mammals it does not mean that all behaviours exhibited by animals are not odd when we adopt them.

Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".[1][2] Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for American Left ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.

You're right. Woke means both compassionate and aware of the struggles (whether past or present) of people who are marginalized. It also means being aware that we can all do better when it comes to supporting our human, animal or environmental brethren.

why do you call men "guys" and "men", but call women "female" or "females"?
Only using "female" for "women" makes sense if you also refer to human men as males (like in a medical, scientific or military context), but does not in context where "female" is not used that way and makes even less sense when you use humanifying words for men and dehumanizing words for women in the same three lines.
Maybe call women women. It's a few characters fewer than female/females.

I mean, there is a high possibility they lived in so many countries because of their parent's job or because of their own job, and it has nothing to do with inability to choose a place to stay.

Guys who wrote to me only to let me know that something on my profile doesn't agree with their preferences and aggressively try to make me say that it won't be an issue when (not if) we meet on a date.
"[dating website] is not for relationship, it's for hooking up. It is very dumb of you to say that you're here for a long term relationship. I don't want that. So if we meet up, you'll put out right?"
"Your profile says you want to own a cat some day but I'm allergic, so you'll have to compromise on that" (like I haven't met you yet, why should I already be making compromises when I could just meet someone who does not have allergies?)
"I hope you have a good reason to not want to date smokers because I smoke socially"
and so on.
Why is it so hard to (1) take a profile at face value and (2) ignore profiles that don't match your wants and not-wants? Why be so aggressive about me not fitting the mold of the partner you're seeking?

I was hired for a new job during the pandemic. All the training was done from home. I had an appointed mentor who showed me the ropes and then to whom I could ask questions.
It seriously wasn't that bad.
(My point being there are even some jobs where going to the office is not needed to learn how to complete your tasks and so on)
