You are too strict on yourself. I put down a book whenever I get the first whiff of wokeness. I hate novels on homosexual love, I hate drivel about teenagers who all of a sudden become unsure about whatever it is they find in their underpants and I begrudge writers their pen and ink who seem fit to write about Victimhood, in general. These books go into the trashcan with one firm flick of the wrist. (Of course my decision to do so became much easier when I stopped paying for books, by way of downloading them for free from Anna's Archive. https://annas-archive.org)
I admire and pity you for wading through almost 500 pages of that crap. This sort of writing is typical of the squishier fields of study, and is even infiltrating the harder sciences, because including some reference to woke subjects is almost a guarantee of being published.

Which is why I love the spoof papers that managed to get published, such as https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/hoax-papers-the-shoddy-absurd-and-unethical-side-of-academia-1.3655500
Maybe the author used this: https://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/
(generates a new paper each time the page is reloaded.)
