India, Sept. 7 -- A woman at the Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlins Major League Baseball (MLB) game has gone viral for wanting a home run ball that a Phillies fan gave his son. Since then, the internet has dubbed her Phillies Karen and a lot of ire is being directed towards her as well. However, there are also some who are miffed at the father just giving the ball to the woman.

Many have called him 'beta dad' for not standing up to her. Political activist and former US Navy intelligence officer, Jack Posobiec, even drew an analogy between the incident and the 'death of American manhood'.

The term 'beta male' from which 'beta dad' has been derived, refers to 'a submissive, feeble-minded and weak man', as per Collins dictionary.
