I mean, the protagonist and her friends could tell donors, depending on their gender/ideaology that it means "animal rescue fund," or "friends" or tell their fellow feminists it means "animal rescuer Feminazis," or...lots of fun stuff.
I'm not saying that ARF is the best or whatever; just that SOMETHING would be better than the mysterious, undefined IWS. It would even be mo' bettah if the acronym had two meanings; a public one, and one that Lainey and/or her friends laughingly use. SCARF: Seriously Crazy Animal Rescuer Feminists, which in public could be Something-City Animal Rescuer Feminists, or whatever. Or something-citizens ARF. Serious Citizens, or Staunch Citizens' ARF.
Man, you could go wild with that stuff. I know that Gregg said that he wanted the readers to GUESS, but...that kinda doesn't ring right for me.
I feel like it's just MISSING something.
