I find it very distasteful that the popular media has given every bigoted, obstuctive, privileged, pain-in-the ass racist/hate monger the moniker Karen. It is not only unfair to women named Karen but it is totally unimaginative. Surely whoever started this trend could have created a word more suited to the harridans involved. Karen is a totally unsuitable epithet. Many Karens are dedicated doctors and nurses, loving mothers, freedom fighters, kind and honorable women in every field, and children named Karen who will be wounded by its use. To suddenly have their name attached to that of shrews and harpies is completely unjustified. And anyone who continues to use this epithet is guilty of being the kind of person whom they suggest they despise. The same applies to the use of the word Ken or whatever other unsuitable name the better-than-thou moralists finally decide to use.
