58. Did you think this really happened?

Do you think this event actually happened or do you think it is a story made up by an individual who is capitalizing on the popularity of the Karen meme in American society?

I study the Karen meme as a sexist meme (there is no popular male equivalent) which is serving a group binding function in our society.

I would appreciate your sharing.
