Sorry, this middle-aged white woman will continue to think (and say, when the occasion presents itself) that there are more important things for middle-aged white women to be offended about than whether or not someone should be called a Karen.

You've used the term "dick", it happens to be in the current first post of your journal. That's kind of interesting, all things considered.
