I fail to find anything derogatory or sexist in labeling white priviledged women "Karen"

179. It is what humans do.

We all label things for the sake of clarity and expedience. Otherwise, observing, recording, and judging every single interaction as unique and new would take up all of our mental processing power.

Now, I certainly agree that when those labels are used to oppress a whole group of people, whether it be Black people, Brown people, women, LGBT people, etc... it is damaging and should not be done.


The danger with "Karen" is not necessarily how women named Karen will be affected, but that the definition of Karen is not set, and can certainly be abused to mean all White women, then ALL women.

That is something we need to be aware of.

There will always be labels and there will be people who are offended by the label and people who feel that it is a necessary shorthand to expose behavior.

I think it is a worthy discussion.
