It's wild how "Karen" started out as calling out racism and now it's just a way for sexist people to shame women for not performing gender roles. (hexbear.net)

Good women are young, quiet, have pretty long hair (never dyed a unnatural colour though!) and never speak up about being mistreated, ever. You want to complain about a genuine problem? Sorry, you're a Karen. Ask people to social distance? Karen. Nicely tell people to please be quiet during a movie? Karen. Ripped off by corporate greed and want a refund? Karen.

Be silent, be feminine and behave, woman.

It sucks because it actually used to describe real harrassment that black service workers experience. Now it's just "Mouthy mom aged women with short dyed hair"

I've even seen a male black service worker be called a "male Karen" I shit you not.

I’m out of the loop on this, what happened to the anti-circumcision movement?

@[email protected] I'm lazy to type this comment out twice.

cw: misogyny

MRA shit. It's feminism and women's fault. Mum's are evil and do it to their sons. Most circ doctors are women (totally false BTW). Why won't feminists protest for me, despite the fact that I'm a raging chud?
