Karen: Karen is a pejorative term for a woman seeming to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term also refers to memes depicting white women who use their privilege to demand they get their way.[3][4] Depictions also may include demanding to "speak to the manager", being racist or sporting a particular bob cut hairstyle.[5] The term has been criticized for being sexist, ageist, misogynistic, or seeking to control female behavior.[5] As of 2020, the term was increasingly being used in media and on social media as a general-purpose term for middle class white women, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests.[3] The term has also been applied to male behavior.[5][6] The Guardian called 2020 "the year of Karen".[7]
