So? How is it anti-female?

It's an insult specifically for women. The excuse is that it's only for 'entitled' women who act like arseholes, but imagine if you made an insult for any other marginalised group. Pick one. Imagine it. Imagine if your excuse were "oh, but it's only for people (of that category) who are lazy/deceitful/perverted/violent" or whatever. You can't do that. It might start off as a way to single out women who are entitled arseholes, but it ends up as a stereotype that all (especially white, middle class) women are entitled arseholes. Soon enough it will be used to just insult and silence women, any women, even if their behaviour is not entitled.

They did used to do that with the N word and black people. You'd call them on it and they'd say something like, "There's a difference between Ns and black people. N is an attitude. There are white Ns too." You watch, they'll start saying there are dude Karens, just so they can keep using the stupid word.
