This is propaganda - almost every Leftist US media outlet is spewing this kind of shit because they receive $$ from gender lobby foundations like TIDES and ARCUS.

I've been alive for many decades, have had many butch lesbian friends, and never once did they have a problem in women's bathrooms. Not even lately when women are very justifiably terrified of being attacked because of the trans self-ID bathroom laws, which allow Jake L Sex Offender to come on into the women's loo too.

Also, RE "Karens" - there are a few articles out now about the sudden rise of "Karen" shaming and how it's being used to stop women from speaking up. There's one in THE ATLANTIC, which used to be a prestigious US publication. There's also one in FEMINIST CURRENT.

However the Karen meme started, it's now used to shame women into silence. It's a very deliberate way of keeping women from speaking out. I even saw a Karen video on local news.

tl;dr The Karen meme is just another way to shame women into silence.

    While white women who call the police for no reason on people absolutely should be ridiculed and punished, there is a very real problem with people attempting to use the term "Karen" to unfairly target women. For example, this person saying that we should use the term "Karen" for women who contact HR regarding sexual harassment. (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EcHk5fSXgAAavMy?format=jpg&name=large) which is really not the direction we should be going with the term "Karen". I think it's fair to call people out for being a crybully but we should absolutely be wary of people trying to co opt our legitimate grievances for malicious purposes.
