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

My understanding is that the Karen/Sally/Linda thing was started by Black women as a way to address racialised dynamics in the workplace - whether Karen is the racist manager or the middle class customer with nothing better to do than belittle people on minimum wage.

It is certainly used by enough white men for it to be morphed into a misogynistic slur. Also, those names are classically working-class, and I do object to the classism within this narrative. The ageism too is a massive problem. I think countering racism with ageism is not great.

Yes - it’s sexist, classist and ageist, in that order

Oh hell yes.

of course. And see also 'Becky', the prototype white racist. Women are consistently cast as icons of prejudice/privilege which men share at least equally
