not every older white woman is a Karen! spot the difference:
KAREN
banned from book club
hair by stylist she doesn’t tip
drinks bc of husband, Greg
Nextdoor user
KIM
just vibing
stories about the ‘70s
veggie garden
wonderful hats
Is there an equivalent categorization for men? No, of course not.
Well, that’s sort of the point. “Karen” is a reminder to white women that despite their oppression as women, they hold certain privileges and can oppress others when they demand to speak to the manager or call the police on POC people just trying to have a cookout in the park.
I don’t see that as the point at all. The misogyny is still there. How is the white woman any more privileged than the white man? He, in fact, is more privileged than her. And how is demeaning any group a step on the path to where we want to be?
you’re really being a karen instead of a kim right now marianne
You’re saying that is proving my point.

That sort of proves my point. I remember when the book “Hillbilly Elegy” came out; it opened a lot of people’s eyes to the smugness and arrogance of that term and how it was resented by so many people.
I call them Chad's or Chip's. As a black female lawyer, when I walk in any firm, I put on my 'Chip Smith' attitude of mediocre entitlement to gain leverage, negotiate, and in general, be treated as valued.
The black female attorney in me cackled at these facts. Someone remarked to me once, as I was leaving a meeting, that I “walked like a white man”. Of course, I asked for more, and “authoritative” popped out. GOOD.
