I find it all amusing and who doesn't need to laugh right now?

I agree.. I think these are hilarious! I never heard of "Karen" before.

If you have time, go to "Reader Picks" in the "Comments." Not all the readers were amused, but then we never are.

I won't sign up to read it. I have no doubt many are not amused.

I love the NYT readers comments. The narcissism, the preening, the status anxiety, the rigid orthodoxy, the moral panic at the very thought someone may think differently. The tension between the urge to sneer at the middle class and the instinctual need to treat the mockery of any woman’s behavior of any sort as an affront to feminism.

Anything from “My name is Karen and I’m absolutely wonderful” to generations, classes, genders and races battling for ultimate victim status.

I disagree! What drivel you just spouted about comments that you happen to disagree with. I have not read the NYT, to be honest, but still see your comments as drivel along the same nature that you are deriding.

anyone who has ever lived as a woman in this society for any period of time and thought about it, can sense the latent sexism in such memes. I mean really.

However the stuff posted in this thread was pretty funny, I suspect it has a darker side than this, but yea funny.

I have no idea what the NYT article is about either, I'm Gen X and I don't think I know any "Karen's" I'm not sure I even know any people named Karen, one person my age as a kid I think, and someone's mom as a kid (so of course no Gen Xer).
