If you’re turning this into a gender issue (Which I presume you are) I’d like you to look into a lot deeper feminist issues such as FGM and child marriage instead of people using a name for a meme. Crying over a meme is the epitome of white feminism and doesn’t scream intersectional in my opinionOf course, women are "sensitive" now - go back to your bridge you troll.

Oh shut up. You tedious snob.

I feel the same way as your friend. But I also don’t want to complain about it, as Karens are complainersI 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
I think it is racist, because it’s derogatory, intended to incite hatred, and aimed at solely at white women.I feel the same way as your friend. But I also don’t want to complain about it, as Karens are complainers
I’ve also seen posts comparing it to racism which is ridiculous, in my opinion. Being made fun of for being called Karen is in no way comparable to the prejudice people of colour face.
To give an example of how shameful I feel about it lately. I signed up for a podcast I loves Patreon. And one of the bonuses is a shout-out on the show. I’ve not listened to that part since I signed up as I really don’t want to hear my name.
My name is Karen and I don’t agree. I don’t feel like I’m going to be targeted to be at risk of physical harm, like has happening to people of colour.I think it is racist, because it’s derogatory, intended to incite hatred, and aimed at solely at white women.
I agree it used to be ok to get older, not anymore, I’m entering middle age despite exercising and eating in a balanced way my body is starting to let me down. When you start researching women’s health, menopause hrt etc you sharp learn what a shit show it all is , I’ve been explaining it all to my husband and how we can guarantee if men went through it, the treatment would be so much better. So with that in the forefront of my mind I look at the ‘Karen’ stuff and the lack of a male equivalent and it concerns me, I’m literally looking at my teenage daughters as I’m typing this and I worry about the world they’re entering intoIt’s a nasty little ageist, sexist stereotype. Fwiw, I’m not white
What does Gammon mean? Never heard anyone called that before.I don't like the term Karen like I don't like the terms "gammon", "snowflake" etc. If I ever use them in an argument (which I really try to avoid doing) it's because I've lost my rag and I'm not making intelligent points anymore - they really are just playground insults based on stereotypes. I think it's a reach to say they're based solely on gender when right-wing middle aged white men get "gammon" frequently, but maybe that's my internal misogyny speaking, I don't know.
