17. If you ask yourself WHY the 'Chad and Ken' meme hasn't caught on

like the karen meme, I think you'll have your answer -- It's sexism. Women are always "easier" targets

As far as being "entitlled"" and/or "racist", white women are
no more so than white men. I'd argue, in fact, that they're generally far less.

In so doing, I'd point to the fact that there are many more white women in the Democratic party, than in the GOP. All you have to do is look at the gender composition of the Republican Congress compared to that of the Democrats. I would add to that, the greater likelihood of violence in male racism..

I certainly agree on the usefulness of cell phone cameras It's making people more accountable, and that's a good thing.
