I know, I know, “Karen” has become a supposedly polite way of saying “entitles white bitch”. But here’s the thing: as per the US census records, there are about 1.5 million Karens, Karan’s, and other spellings living in the US. (Note: that’s US only, not Europe, Canada, or elsewhere). So when you call someone “a Karen”, you are calling 1.5M + women a bitch. And no, we are not all bitches, and no, we do not like being called that just because someone was behaving badly ( most likely not even actually a Karen). So can we please just lose this awful use of our name? It makes me sad and depressed, and you use it a lot . BE ADULTS, call a bitch a bitch, and leave us Karens the hell out of it.
Thanks you, also a Karan

Someone (usually a woman, but it can also be a man), who thinks they are right about something when they are actually wrong. They are usually very demanding, and very disrespectful, and rude to a cashier, and/or worker. They more often than not "Demand to see your manager," in an attempt to get you fired and/or file a complaint. But it's also when you come in contact with one, they are usually bossy, tell you what to do/not to do. They get in your business. Etc.
I’m afraid you missed my point, but thank you for mansplaining it to me.
I never stopped to think about people named Karen being offended by this. Now that I think about it, maybe we should use other words instead.
