Julie Bindel is a feminist author and journalist (at least according to her Twitter bio).
That means she doesn’t have much better to do than complain about things.
And therefore come up with takes like this:
Does anyone else think the ‘Karen’ slur is woman hating and based on class prejudice?
— Julie Bindel (@bindelj) April 5, 2020
Anyone? Anyone?
I’ve got a mate called Karen and I love her, just saying.
— Julie Bindel (@bindelj) April 5, 2020
And we’re very happy for you.
Also, congratulations, Julie. You are now officially a Karen, too.

What do you think a slur is
— Kyle ? (@KylePlantEmoji) April 5, 2020
No, Karen.
— Sean Agnew (@seanagnew) April 6, 2020
Julie works, too
— Rosa Sparks @ Dainty Thug Podcast? (@MzYummyDread) April 5, 2020
Oof.
What makes this extra fun is that she’s taking heat for being oblivious to racism:

White people calling something a slur because it hurt their feelings, while simultaneously and systematically oppressing (knowing and unknowingly) people of color around them daily and weaponizing their privilege is peak Karen, Karen.

If being called “Karen” is a slur to you I think you’ll be okay
— Justin Jackson (@J_ManPrime21) April 5, 2020
Well, she’ll never really be OK … someone who thinks “Karen” is a “woman-hating” “slur” is clearly not OK.
