9. i use it

to refer to all of them white women who call the cops on black people..

no different than pool patrol paula, swing set susan, golfcart gail, or move in martha....

granted it might be sexist, but i would use the same label on guys too, such as George Zimmerman 2.0

5. This is beyond absurd. Another way to shut women up. What makes a Karen? Does this make me a

Karen? Because I am speaking up saying it is another way to shut women up, do I become a Karen? How many older white privileged women are now rethinking any kind of criticism or asking questions because they do not want to be a Karen. I am totally rejecting this. I know it has popped into my mind an handful of times recently, with all this conversation.

One was regarding my health and whether or not I legitimate to simply get info. I was particular nice and gentle in asking for facts.

That is wrong.

I have heard women on this board ask, does this make me a Karen? Simply wanting to address something.

That is not ok in my book. And it is ten times worse reducing vile racist on the same scale as a Karen.

They are vile racists.

8. Called karen due to prejudice against older women

Called karen because of fear of female equality
Same crap Hillary Clinton was up against.

A lot of men and many women fear the equality which will be needed to bring about a true democracy.. The guy culture is going to fight hard to maintain inequality. Hence the scapegoating terminology.

Putin was able to build upon that fear to install Trump. A lot of liberal progressive democrats fell for the propaganda and are still unprepared for this election cycle interference.

Few guy culture democrats even know what Stone was convicted of-they only know that Trump commuted his sentence. But they .have time to use a name associated with older women to get their jollies.

We are still at the mercy of Putin and his accomplices because too many want to hide from the truth and keel a false narrative going.
