The very annoying little 8-year old that wears a romper 24/7. She also yells at kids older than her playing games. Quotes from Karen: "Do you even know how to play?!?!" "You're too short!!!" Sucks.

A derogatory term generated on the internet which is used to describe women who attempt to express themselves. It used to refer to women of a certain “type” who caused trouble in unnecessary situations or complained about trivial things, but more and more it is used to refer to women in general who speak their minds about any topic. There is no widely accepted equivalent for men who ask to speak to managers, who get angry about something in public, or who speak their minds, therefore this is a chauvinistic term and unacceptable for use in an educated modern society.
A woman expresses a thought or opinion
Others: “Ok, Karen”
Stacy has no response because she doesn’t know anyone named Karen and has just been dismissed and invalidated by two words.

Derogatory name for a woman (usually Caucasian) who knows her rights and isn’t afraid to speak up for herself and others. Often the subject of envy and jealousy from those who can’t or won’t educate or stand up for themselves and accuse her of being privileged. A highly effective, self driven, tactic of authoritative patriarchal societies to subjugate and control women through the use of ridicule and shame and divide and conquer strategies that utilizes the ignorant, compliant and passive to target those who educate and advocate for themselves and others.

Rapidly-spreading behavioural disorder marked by inflated sense of self-importance & unwavering belief in deserving special treatment. Condition typically manifests in relentless demands to "see the manager" over trivial issues, an incessant need to complain, & a firm conviction that personal opinions are universal truths; & results in disruptions to social & professional environments, creating tension & stifling cooperation.
The afflicted ("Karens") possess a supernatural ability to detect non-existent customer service violations & are known to demand refunds for items they didn’t purchase. They travel in packs, known as a "Squabble of Karens," often seen in malls, coffee shops, or anywhere with Wi-Fi to fuel their social media rants.
Advanced cases extend beyond stores, leading to workplace disruptions, social isolation, & even public confrontations over perceived slights.
Societal impact includes creating division, hindering progress, & promoting a culture of discord. Online, their self-righteous activism clogs social media with misinformation & cancel-culture campaigns; while in communities, they spearhead NIMBY movements, opposing anything that doesn't align with their narrow worldview.
Professionally, they're notorious for stalling team projects & demanding recognition without merit, ultimately isolating themselves as they wonder why their brilliance isn’t rewarded.
Treatment: A heavy dose of humility, empathy, & exposure to diverse perspectives.

Her Entitlementa Karenitis (noun) /ɛnˈtaɪtəlmɛnʃəˈkærənˌaɪtɪs/) flared up again when the barista spelled her name wrong on the coffee cup, and she insisted on speaking to the manager to demand a free drink.
