Yes, poor you. You can’t yell and demand your way anymore (I mean you can, just hope you aren’t being recorded).

DP - but yeah, you can't shame me into not speaking out about sexism and against stereotypes of women as complainers. If that makes me a Karen, so be it. I think that's better than the alternative - someone who stereotypes women and perpetuates inequalities of the sexes.

You were never going to be silenced or shamed. Don’t pretend you care what people think of you or like you aren’t the loudest person in every situation. Do you. Newsflash: No One Cares (just don’t get filmed yelling at people).

Absolute BS, you liar. Just look at what happened to OP: she doesn't want to enter a store because of COVID but she feels she can't say anything. And you guys dump all over her for being a Karen anyway.

Newsflash: you hate women and it's obvious.

I’m a woman you idiot. Most people posting on this thread are women. You clearly hate anyone who doesn’t think like you. And you obviously hate differing opinions. Go ahead, keep screaming that everyone hates women bc they don’t agree with you. Keep showing why Karen is extremely popular and why it isn’t going away anytime soon.

I think a lot of think you all need to be offended. It's the only thing that will shake you from your comfort and complacency. I think for a lot of you this is the very first time you've experienced this kind of discomfort, and it's why you're losing it. My hope is that the result of feeling this discomfort is greater empathy for those who have no choice but to live in the same discomfort you feel right now, every day of their lives, facing much harsher consequences than being called Karen. You have no real clue what actually being silenced feels like, but if this gets you closer to understanding, it's worth it.

Umm, no. It doesn't work that way.
You are turning more and more people against you.
Women in this case.

+1. Yes, most white women support the protests and BLM. But no, insulting them isn't going to increase empathy for you.

Most?! What proof do you have? Either you support BLM or you don’t. If you are turned off by the use of the term Karen to the pint you won’t support BLM then guess what, you NEVER supported BLM. These are two separate things. You aren’t fooling anyone with your fake support.

Actually, this isn’t about me. It’s about all women.

No. It’s about you. All women don’t feel like you do.

OK, you're e a conservative Karen, because you dared express your opinion in a shrill and brutal manner. You way exceeded OP's level of Karen-ness.

Happy?

Let’s face it. Karen is often a substitute for a B-word or a C-word. Often used to accuse a person of being a racist. No matter the offense, it’s like a catch all for all the insults. Used to demean a woman, there’s no male counterpart. Check yourself before using it.

No, you're wrong and pp is right. This is about all women.

+1,000,000. It's not just used for racism and it's not just used for women throwing hissy fits at the Carl's Jr.

It's used for any woman who doesn't toe the line. Just look at what you guys did to OP, who didn't actually do anything besides post on DCUM.

I am the poster you replied to.
I don't support BLM, I don't support protests.
My comment was strickly about how it works in people's heads - insulting people don't bring them on the insulter's side.

Are you? Do you feel better? I’m not being videotaped yelling at people. I’m not demanding every person on this thread agree with me and if they don’t then they hate women. I’m not using conservative as an insult.

I checked myself. I’ll still use it when applicable.

Do you think just because you're a woman, you can't hate women? Allow me to introduce you to my MIL. Many, many women I know basically hate women. I see it as hating themselves--in the case of my MIL it's because her own mother disliked her--she is a very unlikable person) and projecting that on to all other women. Is this your problem, maybe?

So let's get this straight. You're here insulting people who think "Karen" is misogynistic, calling them idiots and screamers if they don't go along with you.

Sounds like a Karen to me. And to be clear, I think the term is misogynistic. But since you think it's OK, if the shoe fits....

The videos are such red herrings, it's dishonest of you to keep using them. Newsflash: none of us is being video-taped yelling at people.

We're talking about people like OP, who can't stay safe from COVID by getting curbside delivery, yet OP doesn't actually do anything except *gasp* post about it on DCUM. And you guys are all over her with the Karen insults. The nerve! She didn't complain to anybody, but she *thought* about complaining, OMG!

DP. Another case in point is my aunt. It's lucky for her kids that all three were boys, because she really dislikes women.

I can see my aunt posting on this thread about how women shouldn't speak up at all. If they do, they're basically no different from the video shriekers. My aunt isn't great with differentiating among women, between those who are out of line and those who are reasonable, because she hates them all. Is this pp's problem, maybe?

When the shoe fits. You don’t get to scream at people and expect them to just nod and walk away. If you can’t handle having your ass handed back to you then don’t start an argument. if OP actually wanted to stay safe from Covid then she would stay in her house. Period.

You hate having proof thrown in your face. The videos are out there bc people hate the behavior. You can try to sweep them under the rug all you want but they are still there. You want to change the behavior then start by admitting there is a problem. There are white woman using their privilege to yell at service workers, to cough and spit on people in public, to yell racist comments when things don’t go their way.
