In reply to the discussion: I fail to find anything derogatory or sexist in labeling white priviledged women "Karen" [View all]KY_EnviroGuy
(14,782 posts)People seem to constantly look for ways to make others feel just a little inferior to themselves, as a tiny boost to their self-esteem.
Examples:
* Dumb blonds.
* Short people.
* Poor people.
* Handicapped people.
* Overweight people.
* People not "pretty" of "handsome".
* People without advance education or that have a GED.
* People that can't afford nice clothing or automobiles.
At first, I thought the Karen thing was humorous but it then occurred to me that from now on, little girls named Karen may be slighted or looked down on in school or among their peers. It's just not worth the risk to children.
In addition, I can guarantee you that many adult women named Karen will be seen as "less than" by peers in their workplace and communities, no matter how intelligent or capable they are.
