Take a Xanax! How “Karen” Culture Escalates & What the Prescription Numbers Reveal

We’ve all seen them. Most tend to be middle-aged women and, generally, are identified by their rather aggressive behavior usually involving yelling and screaming. These women are condescendingly referred to as “Karens.” But is it funny? Seriously, is it funny? AbleChild would argue that it is more than likely that these women just aren’t randomly angry or naturally aggressive, but, rather, something much more personal is going on?
Based on the data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) one seriously must ask if it’s entirely possible that these women- these “Karens” – don’t even know why their behavior has become in-your-face-scary-aggressive. AbleChild suggests that this unnaturally aggressive behavior is born in a psychiatric diagnosis and a mind-altering drug “treatment.”
In fact, it seems odd, that given it has become so common to refer to aggressive women as “Karen” that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) hasn’t added being a “Karen” to its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) with all the alleged symptoms, even making these symptoms a “spectrum” of behaviors that can be “treated.” It’s easy to visualize the defense… “Yes, I’m on the Karen Spectrum.”
Well, in my opinion, any poster who has used my moniker to post the scheiss that was posted isn't a "buddy".
I thought about it last week and figured that, since that poster was around here before I ever came back, then I am not responsible for their presence on this board and therefore I am just ignoring them. Been back long enough now to understand that a lot of things have changed and from now to the future - your judgment about who should and should not post will not be questioned by me. Even if it is myself.
You have insight that I don't so you are probably right about the identity. But there is also a 'history' and habits of certain posters and THIS particular post above reminds me of someone else.
Isn't it a trend that the left gets particularly nasty when things aren't going their way? Regardless, I do feel bad that you and Johnny have to spend time cleaning up messes.
