Hmmmm! Thought it was a derisive term for ladies who are, less than lady like. AKA Biotch. Guess it would apply to some guys as well. Or is that Karl.

I think “Karen” could describe someone who accuses others of cultural appropriation.

It would be easier to read this in Braille than in the format that is posted...ridiculous to post anything with all the different formats - a person WOULD easily go blind...

“It is certainly used by enough white men for it to be morphed into a misogynistic slur,” she replied. “Also, those names are classically working-class, and I do object to the classism within this narrative. The ageism too is a massive problem. I think countering racism with ageism is not great.”

trying to follow an MSM story about the twisted slogans and ideology of a feminist, and then the equally twisted counter-points other leftists make - is like trying to follow an MSM story about transgenders in a love triangle who’ve had children.

> Dictionary.com defines Karen as a mocking slang term for an entitled, obnoxious middle-aged white woman. <

I would suggest “Hillary” instead. As in:

My daughter-in-law wants to be president of the PTA so bad that she ordered the murder of her two opponents. She is such a Hillary.

It became popular in the United States in the mid 20th century. I have a cousin named Karen; she was born in 1951.
