Karen

A dead meme that has never been funny and is just used to make women feel bad about themselves, controlled, and self-conscious about having an opinion on anything. It's also depressing for girls named Karen who've had to change their names or move schools because of sick people who think using this term is ok.

The meme fell out of favor quickly when people realized their own moms were called Karens for no reason. When women were ruthlessly bullied on the internet because some jerk who wants clout filmed her and tried to portray her in a bad light when she was just trying to live her life. The realization that society hates middle-aged women for existing, women are judged harsher, and this rabid obsessive bullying has no regard for women's humanity from people who spend too much time online and hate women.

Pakistani-American writer, public speaker, and activist Sarah Haider calls the term a "term of abuse" and explains it is used in place of calling women misogynistic slurs and to get away with socially acceptable misogyny.

"The Karen archetype is just the most recent, millenial-sanctioned attempt to keep women in their place," writes Ahmed Pierstorff.
I hate when women defend themselves or even open their mouths, so I'm gonna shut her up and try to embarass her by calling her a Karen.

Even the most boring person on earth shouldn't be using the term Karen at this point. It's the most dead joke ever.

Diminutive of Katherine, Karen is a pretty, sweet, and warm name. Let Karens exist in peace.

Kegel of Karens

As we all know, a “Karen” is a woman who is being “the worst.” A “Kegel of Karens” is the term to refer to Karens that have gathered in a group, much like a flock of birds, gaggle of geese, murder of crows, or a herd of cows.
“Wow- check out that Kegel of Karens ripping that manager a new one over there.” or “That Kegel of Karens are way too aggressive at their kids’ hockey game.”

Karen

A stereotype that it used to describe a white, middle aged woman who is entitled and demanding to fit their needs without consideration for others.

Karens sometimes tend to be racist, ageist, and sexist. Karens have lack of consideration and respect for others when situations aren't going the way they wanted.
That woman was a Karen for harassing us at the skate park.
