Many people argue that kids these days aren’t as strong because they all receive “participation” ribbons or trophies. They say that if there isn’t a clear “winner”, kids will grow up weak and will be less inclined to work hard. In this episode we share some recent tough parenting moments that illuminate some of the problems with this argument.

We Need To Talk About Karen
Recently, Josie found herself at the non-off leash park near her house. When she kindly asked a man to leash his dog because her son was terrified, he adamantly refused. In a fit of anger, he hurled the label "Karen" at Josie.

Join us as we unpack these questions and more with Refinery 29’s Kathleen Newman-Bremang. Together, we explore the complexities surrounding this term and the insights it offers into societal attitudes and behaviors.

Karen
Ugh! I am really saddened by the word ‘Karen’. As a person with the name Karen, white presenting, middle aged women now will never stands up in a situation that a women typically would or should, especailly if the other person knows that is my name. I am or have ever been or acted in the way that describes a women who is now refer to ‘Karen’. Why not call them a horrible person. Why must e attack a name my name tat I am now embarrassed to own.
The talk to kids about sex is unlistenable
The author whoever that was says a whole lot of nothing. I waited for something and it never came. Pardon the pun. He also has gender identity and opinions that he tries to pull off as fact with the two hosts emphatically nodding ‘yes oh pf course’ to his idea that kids can change genders and sees nothing wrong. I was so disappointed with this one don’t bother listening you won’t get anything out of it
Happy IWD
