also for what its worth, a Karen being offended by a Karen joke is the most Karen thing I have ever heard
Even if something is unjustified sheS so scared to speak up, it’s really hurting her, even more so with everything that is happening.I’ve totally thought that this would happen. I struggle with my mental health and have thought this would seriously effect it and my self esteem if it was my name being used. I’m really sorry for your friend. I wouldn’t say I’m hugely politically correct and I’m not easily offended when it comes to jokes etc but I really do think this whole Karen thing is terrible. And I’ve been baffled by it that we live in a time that you can’t offend anyone but for some reason this is ok? Really surprises me. I am sorry for your friend x
I knew a Karen when I was at school and she was a mean and nasty piece of work so this definition is quite apt esp as she would be middle aged now!Karen is like a middle aged white lady that's rude to customer service people /tells everyone what to do/is a pushy mum. Karen's like to ask to speak to the manager etc
Exactly, it’s the same with calling little girls bossy, there’s no equivalent for little boys.Another way to keep women meek and mild in my opinion. Funny how there isn't a male equivalent and I see plenty of those.
Do you mean someone named Karen?also for what its worth, a Karen being offended by a Karen joke is the most Karen thing I have ever heard
Yes, I'll rephrase - someone called karen being offended by a karen joke is the most karen thing i have ever heardDo you mean someone named Karen?
That’s it!Clearly, I’m a Karen (by name only, I don’t feel like I fit the stereotype) I used to have a laugh about it, saw the funny side and didn’t take offence at all. But more and more I’m seeing it to describe people being racist, saying all lives matter etc. And that I really, really hate. I don’t want to be associated with people like that because of my name. It makes me feel ashamed to have that same name, even though I don’t share the same views.
I’d change my name if anybody in my life would use the new one!
Btw,
As someone named Karen I can’t disagree because then that’s a “Karen” thingYes, I'll rephrase - someone called karen being offended by a karen joke is the most karen thing i have ever heard
Sadly there is. A 'bossy' little girl, but a 'confident' little boyExactly, it’s the same with calling little girls bossy, there’s no equivalent for little boys.
Little girls are bossy and little boys are leadersSadly there is. A 'bossy' little girl, but a 'confident' little boy
I think this is a reach tbh, bossy is an awful word. but theres a difference between being confident/addressing an issue and being rude and a 'karen' i think people are being very sensitive for no reasonAnother way to keep women meek and mild in my opinion. Funny how there isn't a male equivalent and I see plenty of those.
I suppose she could try and go the other way and be a proper Karen. Might be liberating to be a total fucker.I have a friend called Karen, and her mental health has taken a hit because of it, she dreads letting people know her name is Karen. She is finding it very hard with her depression as people just say oh it’s just Karen being a Karen
Of course, women are "sensitive" now - go back to your bridge you troll.I think this is a reach tbh, bossy is an awful word. but theres a difference between being confident/addressing an issue and being rude and a 'karen' i think people are being very sensitive for no reason
