FUZZY DATA
Rats Prove Karens Aren’t Entitled
Alice in slumberland
I met a Karen at a swim meet this weekend. A real Karen, not a turbo-boosting inner-white lady who exhibited Karen traits. A woman named Karen.
Whenever I meet a human female named Karen, it’s like skipping the formalities and recognizing someone from the old neighborhood. This Karen was visibly nervous. We all were.
We had journeyed outside the geography of our liberal bubble to watch our children swim. The kids were swimming at a meet beyond our 97% vaccination area code. Whenever someone isn’t wearing a mask in our neighborhood, they are confronted with the words “What? You’re a Republican now?”
We’re all very angry when people go outside our unspoken rhetoric.
Living in this area, I used to think the Karen issue was about entitlement but I’ve proven that theory wrong. I know that’s hard to believe, but after in-depth studies on a group of rats possessing Karen-like characteristics, I was shocked to learn my entitlement hypothesis was wrong.
Karenism is not as closely linked to entitlement as studies previously suggest. This out-of-date Karen data came from an overzealous researcher glomming onto a trendy notion, hoping to score a book deal or become a household name.
