I'm only about half-way through, but I don't get why people hate on Karen. I like her. And, I like Steve/Jimmy, and Fiona, and EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT FRANK, AND JODY. Frank is a worthless piece of fucking garbage (I can't believe he was trying to steal that lady's money, and fucked her to death), and Jody is so bloody annoying - especially when he cums. Though I laughed my ass off, and felt super embarrassed watching him have sex with Karen.

I hate to say this because it's so easily dismissed but I feel like a lot of the Karen hate is misogynistic in nature. She has a temper, a potty mouth, doesn't give in to Lip when he obsesses over her (for shame!), sleeps around a lot, (she doesn't just sleep around though, she has multiple relationships at a time, which IMO is different than sleeping around because it messes with their heads, Lip, Jody, other guys she's mentioned as having on/off relationships with at the same time as Lip, etc. -- apparently, this kind of behavior is only okay for guys?), and she doesn't subscribe to traditional family roles (gee, her nuclear family was SO NORMAL and AWESOME I can't imagine why she'd reject that kind of life?), is emotionally distant, doesn't want to keep her baby, and for that matter, she doesn't even know who the father is. Basically... All of the Things Good Little Girls Don't Do ( ... )
