      I mean it’s her job to bitch on our behalf, that’s not Karening, that’s being good at an important job.

      TBF Helen Dewdney is a consumer rights person. She generally explains and advises on misleading consumer practices. She is not championing the ladies gripe, she is commenting on the complaining ladies rights, which were provided by the travel provider, who kinda lumped everything under the idea of a ‘package holiday’ providing everything you require. She did actually say that it was probably not reasonable to expect English food as part of that.

      There’s a big difference between knowing and advocating consumer rights and being a super karen. The internet has made standing up for your rights a aspect of shame or ridicule rather than something you should protect and practice.
