A woman has issued a desperate plea to society after her name started being used to as an insult to call out 'unreasonable' women. The 36-year-old explained how she used to love her name growing up - but has started resenting it over the past five years.
The woman, named Karen, said on Reddit: "The now ever-trendy use of the name Karen as a tag for any entitled, rude, crazy, b**** is just not going away. Honestly I think five (ish) years in, it's still ramping up.
"I've become very weary of the trend. It annoys me and hurts my feelings because the use of my name is always vicious." When speaking about her name to her mum, she says she "got so upset at the world" as she didn't know it would be turned into an insult when picking it out from a baby book over three decades ago.
