Took a while, but the NYT is now on the warpath.
...“Beyond labels and name-calling, the death of Ms. Good and the protests and anger in its wake have sparked a response from many on the right that is particularly targeted at white women in the streets, even though men have been just as involved,”...
... The term AWFUL [also AWFL] is not the first derisive name targeting white women. People across the political spectrum once gleefully targeted so-called Karens, a term meant to denigrate women — usually white and middle-aged — caught using their privilege to bend the world in their direction.
And the use of AWFUL emerged well before Ms. Good was killed. Conservative critics began attaching it to female protesters at least as far back as last summer....
The acronym so scandalized the New York Times that it even tattled to the Department of Homeland Security about it and its growing popularity.
They found 'psychologists' and 'social science' types to negatively analyze those who use the term.
Yah, well. Sit on it and rotate, you miserable AWFLs.

AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.
Another variant is AWFL.
Poor cats don’t deserve to live with these female demoniacs…
