    Does anyone else think the ‘Karen’ slur is woman hating and based on class prejudice?

        Definitely. It reminds me of the Essex girl jokes - middle class hacks sneering at working class women.

        That "Karen" is even a concept is about policing women for having the audacity to exert whatever rights they have in a situation (typically for those narratives, as a consumer). The idea that she might be in the right is never considered. She's always a pushy broad to be mocked.

        I'm not sure it can be called misogynist - although it is clearly used about a certain type of privileged, usually middle class, exclusively white woman that some people feel is a 'type'. Top 3 definitions from Urban Dictionarypic.twitter.com/ducssMXuxO
