Does anyone else think the ‘Karen’ slur is woman hating and based on class prejudice?
I’ve got a mate called Karen and I love her, just saying.
It is certainly used by enough white men for it to be morphed into a misogynistic slur. 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.
