> “Karen” is a gendered term used to put down privileged women who do stuff that is routinely accepted by privileged men

Even allowing that it is gendered (although I’ve seen enough “male Karen” vids and articles that that’s not so clear-cut anymore), that’s _not_ the same as misogynist. For comparison - “Chad” used to refer to some dude-bro to isn’t misandrist, even though it’s as gendered as Karen if not more so (never seen a Buzfeed list of female Chads, for instance. I have of male Karens).

And no, I don’t accept this kind of bullshit from privileged men any more than I do from privileged women.
