21. Right. To stand against sexism is not supporting the person and their behavior, i.e. Palin.

I worked in an environment that was mostly 20 somethings. Now, I get along really well with 20 somethings and enjoy working with them but there was a lot of whining of expectation from customers for basic customer service. They would talk about the "privileged" and I would tell them, tis their job. The Karen thing was picked up awfully quit from the service industry for a reason. And there are nasty customers too, but some were totally reasonable adult white women wanting good service. There was some attitude there from young inexperienced employees.

Edited to add: Kind of like the man who started it on reddit. He was pissed at an X and took it out on women and that was the whole start of it. Men with a chip on their shoulder with women.
