Is she still a "privileged Karen" if he went to Harvard?

So, two people who love animals met by accident in the park.  He loves birds and she loves dogs.  He didn't want the birds scared away by her dog, and she wanted to let her dog have a few minutes of feeling like a dog by not having to be on a leash.

Did I mention that these are both highly educated people and as such like to get their way and are even more likely to argue about it on impact than people who never finished high school?

These are the type of people who should have to live side by side in a homeless shelter even for a week.

"Can read differently?"  Guy with binoculars.  Shuffling in the undergrowth.  Emerges from the undergrowth, startling a woman by herself.  Proceeds to tell her what to do, yes I know there's a rule and probably a lot of people don't follow it.  Starts the camera rolling when she won't do what he says.  She is so upset by then that she loses track of what she's doing or saying and subsequently has to relinquish her dog in addition to everything else.  Now the dog is somewhere thinking "Where the fuck is Amy?  Did I do something wrong?"

Fuck that guy.  Ok?  If a white guy did that to me, I would have said some shit.

He is no hero.  He has fucked up her life and he's not even really sorry.  He's out there with the birds.   Dogs lose.  Birds win.

I have nothing against birds.  I have nothing against men.  I have nothing against black men.  I have nothing against gay men.  I have nothing more against Harvard than I have against any other Ivy League school.  I have nothing against black, gay, male birdwatchers attending Harvard; I think there should be more of them.  When there are, hopefully they can be nicer to dogwalkers when they jump out of the bushes and scare the shit out of them.
