Hence “inverted” haircut… though I meant “Sue Catwoman,” which i guess, inverted, is “Catwoman Sue.” Well anyway, the lower hairstyle was definitely worn by the punk/new wave crowd (where I was) in the late 80s.
(It occurs to me there could be substantial overlap between those wearing it then and those wearing it now)
Can we stop using “Karen” this way? My wife had no problem with her name for her whole life until recently. Now she hates it and is considering changing it because it has turned into what it is now. How would you feel if your name, the name everyone uses to mean you, suddently also meant “terrible person?”
I agree with you. It’s an unnecessary, mean-spirited shorthand for something ugly in the world. And people who use the name this way are pretty glib about the collateral damage.
Really? I’m probably just missing your sarcasm tags (which are mandatory on the internet these days you know) because I’d hate to think that you actually mean this comment.
The person I was replying to is married to a woman named Karen. She’s not having a great time since her name was appropriated as a slur for racists. Prolly wouldn’t feel great if the internet suddenly turned your very name derogatory.
