Gonna have to die on this hill until all of you get it: Karen is not a word that white dudes should use.
Youâre never going to do it without misogyny and youâre all too busy pretending white women are the main problem, when in reality white dudes have almost all the power.

Also, white women should consider not using the term, because it makes sound like Karenâs are a tiny subset of you, when in reality there are a lot of Karenâs.
Youâre moving yourself away from the problem.
Itâs really not your word.

Psychological distance is the term I was looking for here.
Karenâs couldnât successfully Karen without the implicit and explicit support of white dudes.
So when white dudes are gleefully using Karen to describe women, they are distancing themselves from their own culpability in this.
