"Karen"-- a term that became ubiquitous in 2020. It was used as a verbal cudgel to upbraid a certain type of woman: white and very outspoken.
Some say the term had its origin as a response to racism; others say it was the product of misogyny. Either way, the word "Karen" became a weapon of derision, mockery and humiliation. It was a way, quite simply, to silence a group of women.
Join us as we do a deep-dive into the history and facts surrounding this term and in our quest to uncover the truth of its purpose.
