Have you ever been called a “Karen” or the male equivalent (whatever that is)?

[sage2021]

I think the other version is called either Ken or Kevin. I asked that question and got several different answers for the male version of a Karen.
I remember some stupid lady screaming at me in her car, but I don't lip-read. She was the hesterical Karen 🥴

[courtney06]

I haven't but considering a few episodes I had in the past, I ought to have been.

[monkeynutts]

The Karen idea comes from an Australian politician who banned a provocative type of Japanese manga or anime comic in Australia. So her name was Karen. And no I have never been called a Karen.

[Snsl153]

Which politician? This is news to me.

[SaoirseS]

Interesting.

[monkeynutts]

Actually looked further and the politicians name was Stirling. Can't really say where it came from.

[EmbraceThePain]

No, never. I don’t really complain about stuff much, also, I like to think one of my good qualities is that I’m reasonable and easy to work with.

[NathanDavis]

nope... I'm not known for outbursts or drama lol

never been called a Karen nor a Jared (just picked a random name that sounds like, IT)

[Still-alive]

no but i suppose there's always a first time lol.

When i don't like something at a store or whatever i just leave and never come back. i don't make any scene or anything.

[dolemite89]

no i call snooty white ladies karen all the time tho

[SaoirseS]

Are all Karens white?

[SaoirseS]

Not being facetious, genuinely asking here.

[dolemite89]

not all, it’s usually white or Asian ladies that are uptight lol

[SaoirseS]

Lol OK, I'm half Asian half white so I guess I meet the criteria.

[dolemite89]

you only meet the criteria if u act that way lol most women aren’t karens

[SaoirseS]

LOL ok thanks :-)

[TheMajesticKing777]

No, people know I don't care enough to qualify for that lol

[loveslongnails]

I think the most popular male equivalent is a "Ken", followed by Terry and Greg? I was called that once, but I had to consider the source. LOL

[TommyMountainFigure]

Nope, but it would be wasted on me anyway as I can't be arsed to learn any new lingo!

[Marianna546]

One guy called me a Karen just because I disagreed with him onYoutube

[JakeS00]

No, and I'm not sure what the male version even is.

[Mangospacho]

I just assumed it was Ken or Kyle or Chad. Either of those will work.

[Lyndsielee666]

No but I’ve called my kid Karen 🥴

[RobEurope]

No. Its racist and shouldn't be acceptable. Its a form of verbal abuse.

[WonderBell99]

How is Karen racist?💀

[RobEurope]

@WonderBell99 because its hate on white women.

[Wonderwhat]

@WonderBell99 Karen is slang that means an entitled bitchy white woman. "Oh stop being such a Karen"

[WonderBell99]

I think y’all are reading too much into this. Karen is not only used to refer to a WHITE woman, it is ALSO used to refer to ANY woman who is entitled and acts bitchy.

[Iron_Man]

No I’m not a Karen Kiner

[llorando]

Can't say that I have.

[Snsl153]

Nope, never.

[sheikalana]

Never.

[Blackcupcake]

lol no…

[_deeznuts]

no..

[moonpie89]

No never have

[RuthlessAggression]

Nope

[RuthlessAggression]

We call the male version, trump

[bigpauly]

No lol

[bootieclapper9000]

[BLP11520]
