"A few days ago, I was struck by a local journalist's on-air reference to a local woman as a 'Karen.' The highly respected Santa Barbara reporter was part of a panel discussing a recent altercation between a woman and a construction worker. She is white, the man is Hispanic. The incident went viral, including coverage in the Los Angeles Times...
I wrote to the reporter, a man for whom I have much respect. Happily, he responded to my email the next day. Not only that, but he had taken the time to check out my main contention: that 'Karen' is a sex-specific slur intended to silence women. So he asked others at the office if there is a male equivalent to 'Karen.' (There is not.)
Perhaps my issue with Karen comes across as trite, given the horrific female-specific issues before WoLF currently. But I don't think so. The same folks who want males in our female spaces, who want to control our bodies in every way, including the taking away of our right to call ourselves mother, who legislate violent felons into female prisons, who support the mutilation and sterilization of healthy young girls -- those are the same folks who now control the language and manipulate discourse in order to twist lies into fact. The rational into insane. I will not permit ideologues to control language."

We received this letter after our latest email blast detailing the global progress we've seen these past few weeks as people rise together against harmful Gender Identity laws and policies. No matter where in the world you are, if you're standing with us on the frontlines of feminism - you're not alone!
"As a Canadian feminist, I've fought this battle for so long now that I am war-weary. The gender identity movement has had a detrimental impact on my psychological health. And your letter today came as a key moment as I have been in a very dark place all day, crying and unable to see any light going forward... Thank you for the assurance that Canadian women are not alone in this fight."
