Sick of being called Karen

Listening to Radio 4 and Caroline Hirons is on and she has already used the term Karen to refer to her followers. I'm just sick of it. It's as bad as calling a woman the B word or C word!

Why would she do it? Why do women do it to other women?

It is disgusting that we get discrimated and designated with the word Karen, instead of 'Black Lives Matter', let's have 'Women Lives Matter' after all, everyone's lives matter

I’ve seen a few recent posts online from black men and women angry about the misuse of “Karen” and its associated memes.
They say privileged white men are now using “Karen” memes to shift the blame for their own historic prejudice onto women, then using it as an excuse to bully them.

[quote inglory]@MonkeyToesOfDoom but why can't a women ask for better service/refund without being called any name? [/quote]
Because they don't have a penis! It's obvious isn't it?

you only get to have an opinion if you are male, And if you are over a certain age - well what are you doing being out at all? Old crone. Go and hide your ugliness at home.

It's getting so ubiquitous that it now says more about the person sayng it.

Unimaginitive. Dull. Tedious. Yawn.

It's like 'OK boomer' - I see it and my opinion of the poster drops to the floor.

They are both the resort of the terminally irrelevant - like people still calling others 'covidiots'.

It was mildly amusing once. Now it's just a sign of a brain with too few cells and even fewer conections.

I wear the label of Karen with pride. Every time I complain to a company about poor service I congratulate myself on my good Karen work. We need to take the term back and own it!!
