This is a normal post I’m sensing much love for Jacinda.
It’s true I don’t know a lot about her. I do realise it was a joke. In my defence, it really was not a funny joke. My animosity mainly comes from what I thought was a shit name calling joke being held up as a good one.

You can say “Karen” isn’t misogynistic if you like. Given its early and continued usage in memes, and the lameness of the argument ‘some journalist called a male president it so it can’t be misogynistic’, we’ll just have to agree to disagree on that one.

This is a normal post Naah : just respect for a witty comeback, mate ;-)
It's only a 59 second video (and a 2-line National Party tweet) : difficult to misunderstand.
It was Judith Collins who brought up the Karens (worried that she would no longer be able to use the term herself), Jacinda merely sent her packing with a pithy and elegant retort worthy of Plutarch's 'Apophthegmata Laconica'.
And yes, along with thousands of other New Zealand women, Jacinda did wear a headscarf in solidarity with her Muslim compatriots after the Christchurch shootings that had made so many of them afraid to go outdoors.
¿Cuál es el problema?

This is a normal post it's ok to admit, (once a day is probably healthy)
that you're just a little bit of a twat, pru.
no disrespect. we all overstretch our shitty opinions sometimes.
the hysterical toilet-flush of transgender commentary below is a perfect example.
"karen" is no more mysoginistic than "jock" is misandrist. sometimes figures of ridicule are somewhat defined by their gender. so what?

This is a normal post Hysterical? Like a Karen?
“The word hysteria originates from the Greek word for uterus, hystera. ... The Egyptians attributed the behavioral disturbances to a wandering uterus—thus later dubbing the condition hysteria. To treat hysteria Egyptian doctors prescribed various medications.”

This is a normal post You seemed to have strayed out of your comfort zone (again)
It is perfectly true that the ætimology of 'hysteria' lies the Greek word for uterus (ὑστέρα — 'uterus' itself being a Latin word, of course). However, you then state that it was the "Egyptians" who "dubbed the condition ['wandering uterus'] hysteria".
The Egyptian Old-Middle-New kingdoms were Bronze Age civilisations (roughly c. 3100 BC to c. 1070 BC) whereas the post-Mycenæan Greeks (Hellenes) were Iron Age (roughly 1200/800 BC through the Roman Empire). Short of time-travelling extra-terrestrial pyramid-building aliens, how can you explain ancient Egyptians travelling several centuries (even millenia) into their future in order to "dub the condition hysteria" in a later (and foreign...) language ??
You mentioned "intellectual consistency and integrity" this afternoon, yet you cannot understand a 59 second video in simple English, and you are also patently ignorant of the most elementary chronology of our shared Human history.
It's really rather silly to comment on stuff you don't understand.
