It sounds like Christy is a real Karen and should probably change her name to such.

Karen [who]? Can somebody please explain why Freepers are now calling leftist millenials “Karens”? Can it help us to explain ourselves to anyone who might listen?

SLANG DICTIONARY
Karen
[ kair-in ]

WHAT DOES KAREN MEAN?
Karen is a mocking slang term for an entitled, obnoxious, middle-aged white woman. Especially as featured in memes, Karen is generally stereotyped as having a blonde bob haircut, asking to speak to retail and restaurant managers to voice complaints or make demands, and being a nagging, often divorced mother from Generation X.

A group of geese is a gaggle. A group of cows is a herd.

A group of Karens is a complaint.

Karen is not a Millennial. Karen isn’t even always leftist. Karen is a very popular Internet meme stereotype for stupid, bossy idiot women. Despite what some claim, Karens come in all ages and all races/ethnicities. And Karens are surprisingly common.

To save myself some typing, see the below linked posts - I had to explain Karen to someone else earlier this month.

“Karen” is a meme about a type of bossy, overbearing or antagonistic female.

“Karen” is generally characterized as an irritating, entitled woman, sometimes as an ex-wife who took custody of “the kids.”

A recent example might be any woman that screamed at you for not wearing a mask. Men can be called a Karen as well. There are a few fine examples on FR :)

Btw, if you’re not familiar with memes, here a safe, handy site to explain the meaning and original of many memes.
