A new Facebook group has been set up for women named Karen to protect there name from the stigma that is associated with it.
"Karens United" is to bring Karen's together to stop abuse that has become synonymous with the name because of a meme.
The name has been associated with privileged women who ask "can I speak to a manager" in an entitled tone of voice, often speaking down to the staff.
According to Tyla, Julie Bindel a writer for The Guardian criticised for being disparaging, and for being sexist, ageist, and classist.
So far there is over 1,700 members in the group and growing larger every day,
The description says:
"I don't wear my hair in an inverted bob, I don't give unsolicited advice, I rarely use coupons and I have absolutely no friggin' desire to speak to your manager.
"I'm just a mom trying to juggle my home, my job, and my family."
"Can you imagine, you are just minding your own business when suddenly the internet blows up with memes blaming you for everything from causing excess stress for retail employees to destroying the environment? What. The. Everliving. Heck,"
"Right now, if you are a Karen who is sick and tired of seeing your name associated with offensive memes, I beseech you to join this crusade.
"We will not stand for this injustice any longer. It's time to fight back. Karens of the world, unite!"
Most women have said using the name as a meme is rude, insensitive, and can be considered "a term of abuse" but others disagree.
Others have said they use certain names to describe personality traits such as Debbie Downers, Chatty Cathy, and Plain Jane.
Do you think the meme has added a stigma to the name Karen?
