#5 You know, I'm developing a pet theory right now that maybe some of you can comment on. Probably it's not uniquely *my* theory; somebody has probably spelled it out before. But bear with me.

[BEGIN RANT]

Intersectionality and "wokeness" are really all about white, middle-and-upper-class straight women. (They may play at being queer when it suits them, but don't generally stick with in the long term. Trust me. I've got plenty of friends who are dykes, and their woes are familiar woes to me.) Let's call them all collectively "Karen" for arguments sake. Black people, Hispanics, gays, and everyone else drawn in are bystanders, cannon fodder, and eventually will be the victims of the whole thing.

Why you may ask? Well, it's no coincidence that specifically white, straight men are the official villains of this worldview (let's call him Chad), when really it should more logically just be men in general, straight or otherwise. In fact, it's bigoted that it isn't. For example, anyone who has studied Latin American history knows that Hispanic men are no pikers when it comes to colonialism and oppression. Black men in Africa built some impressive, literate empires complete will all of the bad things which come along with empires. Timbuktu was a happening place in the 14th Century. Great Zimbabwe had a nice, big palace for its king with defensible stone walls. One very openly gay Ernst Julius Günther Röhm led the SA; and quite effectively by all accounts.

You get the picture.

But Karen doesn't care (or know) about any of that - and she doesn't care much about oppression, either. What she cares about is first that the 1950's ended: the golden age for a lot of middle to upper class white woman. A great time to hang around the house, smoke, drink, read magazines, be sexy, and become an apex consumer.

Karen liked that - and consumer markets liked her too. So much that it started to whisper promises in her ear. You can have it all! You can have a family, a husband, a full-time job, an education (another product), a big house, and look youthful your whole life! You're a superhero who can do anything! Now buy our crap, Karen! Consume baby!

But of course only one out of a hundred Karens can actually pull all of that stuff off. Not because Karen is inferior. But because we all are! Life is about sacrifices, compromises, and dreams that never happen. It's about failing a lot of the time - no matter who you are. In fact, it doesn't matter who you are at all.

But Karen doesn't want to hear that. She needs a villain: someone to blame for the fact she's just a human whose life is going to be hard and have its moments of suck, just like every other human's. And guess you didn't make her dreams come true? That's right, Chad my boy: it's you. Which brings me to Karen's second issue: Chad isn't marrying Karen as often anymore. He may sleep with her. He may be her "baby daddy." But he's not sticking around because... well, KAREN. Why marry Karen when, if you really want to get married, you can give a ring to Alejandra or Ling instead and not be subjected to Karen-ness your whole life?

So that's our Karen: See Pictures Above. I know her well. Look upon her works and weep, Chad.
