What's the male version of being a "Karen"?

There isn't one.

I think the term was coined with good intention - to call out the entitled abusers of privilege - but is now overused and I fear it's becoming just another tool to shame women for having opinions.

Agreed.

I'll take it a step further, it's a racist stereotype now.

@SumKindaMunster racist how?

@PoizonApple What image does the term "Karen" conjure up? What do you see in your mind? It's always a white woman, is it not?

It would be like calling a black woman an "Omarosa"

@SumKindaMunster I appreciate your agreeing with me up until the point this got all David Duke.

@PoizonApple David Duke? Why are you bringing him up?

@Tsondru I'm sure you have. What's the epitome of a "Karen" though? Describe her appearance as you see a Karen in your mind.
