Im am Karen and I personally am sick of the conotation, I cannot comment on any social media platforms without being bombarded with unrelated comments abbout my name. I cant have an opinion on anything anymore because of this.
Change your name then! Simple.
Don't get all Karen about it.
Why have immature people in your life?
Sounds like you need to work on yourself.
Do you have the haircut? 💈💇
Why is everything racist ? I’m so sick of this.
Neither. It's just an accurate description of toxic entitlement personalities. If anyone confuses kindness with being a doormat, the fault is all theirs.
I've had the misfortune of interacting with so many Karens in the medical field, the know-it-alls and the nasty ones that don't think the rules apply to them.
Civil servants lol
People believing that COVID was going to kill 2,500,000 million, for instance?
Yup! Been there! Karens be crazy!
Self importance is just desperate.
She’s saying it’s a racist term belonging to black people directed towards white women
So Joanna thinks its ok to park in disabled bays & how dare anyone to think otherwise !
In my line of work ive come across many a 'Karen'. Many have that very special "I want to speak to your manager haircut"! They are usually backed up by an ever suffering husband. They do exist for sure. Its not a good way to be and there are certainly better ways to be in life. Dont be a Karen!
Karen's are extremely important (and unstable)
Do you think Karens watch GB news? Let's put it this was they aren't watching the BBC.
It's a hidden personality in most females, I believe. It's just that the vast majority are intelligent enough to know how to keep it subdued (a bit like men and violence).
"Karen" never had any racial connection. It had a liberal connection though.
Is this what passes for "journalism" these days? Good grief, I've read better copy in "The National Enquirer"!
Lowri Turner needs a solid telling off.
The internet should not be the source of our culture 😂
only karens can call eachother karens lol
Menopause already turn many women into Karens 😂😂😂
Cannabis restores homeostasis, akin to the HRT.
Ahhh kim i love you! Great guests. ❤❤❤👍
Turning the name Karen into a meme is not right! Perhaps we should turn Mo or Muhammed into a meme right? Is that okay? No, it is obviously not okay! Wake up people, don't let any freaks turn ur own personal name into a meme!
Whataboutery oh and probably Islamophobia.
Yep, that's OK too, why not?
@@martynblackburn9632 No such thing as an illogical fear of a disgusting religion. Disgust perhaps, but never fear.
May as well if all the male backbones turn to rubber.
Omg does everything have to be about race and colour. Be quiet Joanna.
It's not meant to be an insult it's just a descriptive word. Like man, woman, Karen. It is also a sexless word as it applies to both men and women. It has nothing to do with age. Karens can be any age.
But originated FROM women: where violence originated from men.
Not very fair on women who happen to be named Karen though, it it?
Joana was spot on. For once
I was coming here to say this
@@kristinbreaux1918 old people can be very very obtuse and they failed to understand she was explaining the origins and the perception of it now.
Don't forget Karens is also used for #MeToo as well.
Make 'Karen' cool again.
It’s ok to demonise men though 🤔
The problem is a lot of us get walked over when we are young, so when we finally become assertive enough to stand up for ourselves we get labelled.
If you find the National Athem, even the flag offensive, then you are clearly living in the wrong country. Nothing stopping you moving to a nation that suits you better 🤷♀️
Sounds like Karen is a Karen
Has “Karen” replaced the term “jobs worth” ?
Joanna’s gorgeous can’t lie 🥰
I Guess I am Karen too! I complain, and I definitely asked to speak with the manager!!!
That's why you have zero SMV
I knew as soon as the black woman started talking she’d bring race into it. I wasn’t disappointed. 😂
In my mind I'm going to Karen's diner.😅
I wouldn't say no.......
When the rumpy pumpy stops in the marriage, the Karen starts.
Yes. Wonderful. Freedom.🤣
Please add Misogyny to your Martin Branning spreadsheets now.
Is there a male equivalent?
The male Karen...oh wait that's sure to confuse the simple minds of extreme right wingers!
Air coming out of pipes can't offend someone unless they choose to be offended. Resilience.
Freedom of speech.
"Karen is lost in translation as to what it actually means"..OMG, please enlighten us to as what it means!
You would know, if you actually saw the whole video.
What, all 3? Are u a misogynist?@@mockingbird3564
I think we all need a bit of inner karen at times. We need to stick up and speak up sometimes. It's knowing when to bring her out is the trick. It's not when a child is selling lemonade without a permit. It is when you pay for an expensive meal and it comes out completely cremated and the waitress doesn't care or offer to exchange it. Sometimes karen needs to speak to the manager 😂
Or when a brat screams for 8 hours constant on a plane.
@@JavaAndroid no not then. Babys can't help crying. They are not doing it to upset you. It's one of those uncomfortable things you have to deal with living in a society. Get some ear defenders in your carry on and don't be the crazy person yelling at a baby! 😉
Hahaha
Wow, I am a Worthingnite, and have not had this much interest since Ocsar Wilde came here; I mean, philandered here!

Not sure if ‘Karen’ is an insult, but make sure you don’t mistake Dan for Martin or Maria! 🤭
I believe Joanna is right, though I rarely agree with her. Initially, the term 'Karen' for a busy-body 50-something 'entitled' white woman gained notoriety as an insult in the USA. A few years back, an older white woman harassed a black family for barbecuing on a charcoal grill in a public park in California. She called the cops on them. There were other similar instances at the time that encouraged the stereotype.
Additionally, the 'Karen meme' inspired the CAREN Act (2020) - the Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies Act, tabled by San Francisco politician Shamann Walton. So Joanna's understanding of the origin of 'Karen' is not without evidence.
Does the white woman even know what we mean when we say Karen?!?
Self importance is just desperate.
