"A woman who dares to voice her opinion. Is there a male equivalent?" Nah, but there's plenty of others for men. A Kyle or a Chad for example. You can stereotype any name if you try hard enough  | |||

"It’s a misogynistic term used for any assertive woman who sticks up for herself." Errrr I beg to differ.. usually Karens just love to complain about all sweet nothing. There’s a big difference in the two. They usually tend to be annoying and get fired up easily on sensitive matters … but more than anything is the entitled aura they have that makes them Karens Anyone can be one but somehow they tend to be the middle aged women who aren’t very open minded.. 
I’m glad some people now call them out when they behave like one and I hope they realise what they are doing/saying by being called out | |||

"Although its exact origins are uncertain, the meme became popular a few years ago as a way for people of colour, particularly black Americans, to satirise the class-based and racially charged hostility they often face."

"I think of a Karen as a self-righteous condescending asshole. And for a man it's a Kyle. It's funny actually because the biggest 'Karen' I know is actually called Karen.
Do I think it's a name that is thrown around at women who are doing absolutely nothing wrong? Yes, very often I seen it thrown at women who are confident and self assured.
"Male equivalent is Ken (you take away the ar). Kyle, is scumbag Kyle who is a really shitty friend or person to Unfortunately yes it has become a term that gets overused in such ways. It is now in the mainstream and gets thrown around as a generic insult to "deflect" differing opinions. Similar to how snowflake is used, it has lost its original intent as is now an umbrella term. The... "confusion"... of self assured and confident women being called "Karen" is because often enough the "speak to the manger" side of Karen always comes with those traits of confidence. Were as a women can be self assured and confident without having the attitude that Karen is originally attached to. Some people then struggle to view them as separate. | |||

"It's a buzzword that originated on the internet and used mainly by American's in their 30s to 40s. It refers to an overly entitled woman. Sadly, it's now mainly used by morons who can't cope with a woman expressing differing opinions to themselves. " It's really not! X | |||

"Tantrum throwing bully who exaggerates situations that aren't going as she pleases, twists the narrative so somehow she's a victim or being victimised. Spouts rights and legal stuff that's wrong, thinks she's the one writing the rules instead of needing to follow them. Would happily see someone fired and consider it justice done over something ridiculously trivial. Proper cunt of a human. Probably secrets fucking hates herself and not shown much attention growing up. I love you too much!!! You make me giggle so much and yes, well fucking explained!!! They need to be banished "I'm in agreement with this tbh.
I certainly wouldn't use it for a woman with a strong personality as many have said above. | |||

"Tbh, I don't recall seeing Karen be used outside of the over entitled, sanctimonious problem maker. Will have to keep an eye out for the wider definition. I suspect may terms get abused like this tho. I think mansplaining is another one. " Yes, so many terms and words get twisted, abused, and perverted in to umbrella terms that they are thrown around until each person has their own version of it. All connected but varied. | |||

"It’s not being assertive tho, it’s being a demanding c**t really .. and being entitled and superior… it’s a bit of a mix of all those things. Throwing a tantrum just because they don’t get their way, basically a big man child …
That’s a Ken/Kevin/Terry
It’s less frequent than the Karen but only because there’s more demanding women | |||

"Karen is a pejorative term for a white woman seeming to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term also refers to memes depicting white women who use their privilege to demand their own way. Well described
To be fair it has moved on from white women and includes any woman that takes up that particular attitude, regardless of race and religion. The male version being a Ken.
Oh that’s funny, someone said Kev, another said Kyle, so I don’t think there is a male version, because men are allowed to be assertive.
I really don't think it's about being assertive one bit. Princess Peach's description has absolutely nailed it.
"Thats great. I think you’ve missed my point entirely, any woman standing up for herself is told to get back in her box, Misogyny is still rife, it’s just disguised better now, arrogant men are perceived to be assertive , that’s why there’s no male Equivalent of a Karen regardless of what other people have said, highlighted by the fact they can’t agree on a name. | |||

"I do understand where you're coming from. I always hear women labelled as a Karen but rarely do I ever hear someone label a man in the same way with a Ken or a Kyle etc. And the fact that it isn't clear what the male equivalent is shows that the label Karen is misogynistic and it does ridicule women. If you look closely enough I do think we throw that name at females more because it's always been more acceptable to shoot down women. | |||
