Are you aware of how often you use elipsies?

one million moms probably isn't even actually one million

Those moms should boycott the marketing of terrible food to adults and children instead using "damn" in an ad.

I wish my life was so easy and simple to the point where something like this would actually bother me

"one million moms" should be forced to name themselves after their actual membership count. allow them to round it to every 1000 to keep it easier. so "zero moms", because there's probably under 500 active members.

One Million Moms, MADD... Typical that men just sit back and let things happen.

Yep. Thats true. The Karens dont care. Karens will curse people out in front of their kids for using curse words in front of their kids. And sometimes, the other person didnt say something that many people would consider inappropriate...

Like somebody will say, Oh, crap! And the Karen will be like, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY IN FRONT OF MY ANGEL?

No. There are male Karens. But no one knows what to call them. They havent settled on a name yet... Though, they are also normally called entitled parents, as long as they have kids...

Its not a hypothetical. People mention male Karens all the time. Just go on Reddit. While Karen didnt originate there, the name is used there a lot. Normally, someone entitled. Especially entitled parents. They mention the male Karens, too. Though, its usually the women who are the ones that cause more problem. Just like how there are more stories about run-ins with entitled moms than entitled dads. They just havent thought of a name yet. Just like Kevin. They have a subreddit for stories about Kevin. Who is usually not the smartest guy. They dont really have a female counterpart. Though, most call her Kevina. And there are plenty of other names. If you say a certain group on names followed by Urban Dictionary, they will give you a very blanket description of a person with that name. It doesnt mean anyone named that is like that. Its more of a way to describe someone without actually describing it every time. And is most used for fun. But you can think whatever you want. But if you do, please go be a Negative Nancy or Salty Steve somewhere else... Or Debbie Downer, or Kevin (or Kelvin, apparently) Killjoy, or whichever you want...

Also, Idk why you would call him hypothetical. All it is is a male who has the same personality as a Karen, and is a male...

Also, its pretty sexist to think only women can act as irrational as a Karen. And by you calling male Karens hypothetical, it sounds like youre saying only women act like that...

why do you think the karen "meme" has a female name. why is it mostly applied to women

Because you see it more. Men are stereotypically more prone to being a asshole and cussing out the worker and storming out than to ask for a manager.

Either way i wouldnt call it sexist as anyone familair with the term karen knows it doesnt mean all or even most women just a particular personality type that a handful seem to share. Wanna call it racist too? Cause a Karen is always depicted as a middle aged white woman.

well at least you're overtly misogynistic instead of just hiding behind "it's a meme, bro"

Becasue there hasn't been a stand out male name.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/karen

Origin

While it's unclear where exactly "Karen" began seeing use as a pejorative character, it perhaps started with the Oh My God, Karen, You Cant Just Ask Someone Why They're White meme from Mean Girls. Others believe that the popularity of the name may come from the character Karen from the 1989 gangster film Goodfellas (clip below).

Did you read my post? I literally said, "Though, its usually the women who are the ones that cause more problem. Just like how there are more stories about run-ins with entitled moms than entitled dads." So, they named them Karens. I also said that they haven't though up the male term yet. So, until then, they just say male Karen.

ok... so why do you think that it isn't sexist? it's based on a stereotype as you just said. do you think that stereotype is actually true?

I said it's not sexist because it applies to both males and females. And anyone in between. The name Karen refers to the attitude and personality regardless of gender or sex. While it's usually a woman (according to the stories of these encounters), it doesn't mean it can't (or won't) be a man. As people have had many run-ins with male Karens.

(according to the stories of these encounters)

lmao ok dude

lmao ok dude

What the hell does this mean? If you're wondering about the encounters, they're on reddit... But, whatever. We're trying to have a conversations about the Karens getting mad over the word "Damn". So, if you don't want to join in, no one is forcing you to. So, if you think this topic is to sexist, you can just leave... You seem to be the only person having some kind of problem with it... Or the only one who doesn't understand the term Karen, and why it's not really sexist... Or know about the stories on reddit... So, you don't have to stay here...

Even though i pointed out its just a small sub section of women that happen to have similar personalities and far from all. Ok. Also its pretty naive to ignore that men and women generally act differently from each other. I think that fact is slowly changing but historically its true
