Can we talk about the blatant misogyny behind the "Karen"- trend again?
Women are attacking each other with a random female name, designed to indicate there's literal modern female hysteria being portraited by a another woman, sometimes older one who's being "overly dramatic & assertive" about things that supposedly shouldn't matter. What's a more genius way to silence women further than a comedic spectacle shaming them collectively with a term synonymous to 'overreacting crazy woman'?
Males are exhilarated over this, they create masses of accounts dedicated to "Karen fails" where they film women of all ages and backgrounds standing up for themselves often if not always nonconsensually. This is all to feed their hatred of women. They specifically seek it to feed those emotions through those pages.
Everyone using this term for whatever context now, is perpetuating and normalizing this phenomenon as acceptable, normal content to consume AND CREATE. By accepting this usage we're differentiating ourselves from other girls and women saying we're not like the crazy women, we're sane like men.
Girls, think again the next time you're beefing with each other, because this dumpsterfire of a phenomenon is a slur that has MAJOR cultural implications for all of our rights and the ability to be heard. We've all already witnessed the power memes and internet slander has, overpowering even the actual laws. Let's not make this the next 'bitch' & have our granddaughters have to reclaim the language.

Short film: a day in a regular life of a woman
Hi everyone! I am Sarahi, and I am 16 years old.
Currently I am doing the IB, and for a CAS activity my coordinator allowed us to do a short film. I decided to do one on sexist attitudes women have to deal with everyday, since in my school and in my city sexism is still a strong issue. 
Sooo calling all my girls out there I encourage you to tell me your stories, to tell me what you deal with everyday! It can be anon, or it can be public. The short film is going to be in Spanish, but I am willing to put subtitles, so all of you can look at it when it’s done.
Please send me your stories here, if you don’t want them to be published on my blog let me know.
Thank you all so much!! Don’t be afraid to share your story!!!
