I know I’ve seen this somewhere but can’t find it - can anyone help?

It’s a feminist critique of comments like ‘I don’t care what Wendy in accounts says’ or ‘Yes, this is politically important, Tina in finance’

Basically taking an age- related name and using it to shame and belittle women through assuming homogenous behaviour.

Does anyone know what I’m on about?

I commented on it once on aibu as an aside and many people jumped on me to say it wasn't offensive in any way, and the names are completely random and coincidental.

It absolutely is sexist and offensive.

I know exactly what you mean, because I have done it once or twice- copying what I had seen thinking it was funny and made me sound clever and insouciant. Then thought about, realised what I was doing and that it was quite unpleasant, copped myself on and stopped doing it.

I havent read the article you're referring to though sadly.

I know exactly what you mean, and agree that it's shitty.

Karen - I’d like to speak to the manager. It’s a “hilarious” way of taking the piss out of women in the 40+ age bracket. Ageism and sexism in one happy little meme.
