Under previous federal Title IX guidance, sexual harassment was defined as âunwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.â The new rules set a stricter standard, defining it as âunwelcome conduct that a reasonable person would determine is so severe, pervasive and objectively offensive that it denies a person access to the schoolâs education program or activity.â

Being raped doesnât âdenyâ the victim access to an educational program, so itâs A-OK now.

The epitome of the âreasonable personâ referred to above, naturally.

The closest I can think of is Chad. Both are entitled and obnoxious, but it doesnât quite fit. Iâve known some men who were bigger Karens than actual women (who may or may not have been named Karen) but thereâs no word for this phenomenon.
At first, I was pretty sure whoever wrote this tweet knows that âKarenâ isnât nearly as bad as a word I wonât actually write here. But on closer inspection, maybe not:
- Dear millennials? Millennials arenât the only ones using that word, so why call them out specifically? Itâs odd.
- Racist against white women? Itâs impossible to be racist against someone who is the dominant race both in terms of population and power, full stop. Prejudiced, yes, but not racist.
- They obviously have never bothered to learn the history of the n word, and have had the very privileged position of not being bothered to know or care. They just think itâs a word that mildly offends some people. And to say Karen is worse
where the fuck do they get off saying that? This is all without mentioning that one of these words is called the n word because itâs considered too offensive to even use in passing!
This is a hollow imitation of âwokeâ language by someone vaguely aware that such a thing exists.
There might be a case that we shouldnât use âKarenâ as an insult, but this isnât it.
This may be it.
It may be time for âKarenâ to die off.
But to say itâs âracistâ and worse than the n word? Please.

Well, it does capture a certainâŚtype.
your typical Karen is likely Republican and upper middle class, definitely a mom, maybe divorced and might even be an anti-vaxxerâwhich means that theyâre creating little typhoid bombs and sending them to schools and churches and soccer practices. And, As Voxâs Aja Romano explained, â the chief way she manifests her class consciousness is not by, say, being a patron of the arts, but by being aggressively rude to the help .â

Referring back up to my Hollywood Squares post.
I have now also been binging on Match Game. The wife and the mother in law punchlines do get old and jeebus Gene Rayburn was a handsy mofo. Also the âtraditionâ of Gene giving a smooch to all new lady celebs is fucking creepy as hell to my older eyes.
