You’re acting as if men’s names haven’t been used to depict problematic behavior (i.e, Uncle Tom, Chad, stan, etc)

I'm less familiar with Uncle Tom in actual usage, but isn't Chad usually a positive thing? Like flattery? I think I'm okay with positive sexism. I also don't know what Stan means.

Of course the anti-union, anti-abortion, anti-inequality, pro stereotypes girl thinks 'Karen' is sexist.
It's just too perfect.

I've considered that the term might be harmful to people named Karen, but I don't see how it hurts women in general. Care to elaborate?

honestly i'm not sure. It feels like a gut/emotional reaction for me, and I'm interpreting it somehow as woman-targeted. I don't mean that people who use that meme are sexist, just it gives me the impression of 'people don't like women' a bit
