If Karen wasn't sexist, there would be a male version of Karen. There are plenty of male assholes, as many as there are "Karens", but we don't have a generalised name for them, do we?

The way I see it- when we'll have Male Karen, then Karen will no longer be sexist. Until then, it's sexist simply because it's a double standard, nothing more nothing less.

What about Kevin? And if it wasn't Karen but, let's say, Kenny that was called entitled would it still be sexist or is it simply being a woman that makes stereotypes sexist?

"Kevin" is a nickname for guys that are just dumb, not necessarily assholes - Karens encompasses asshole women, not dumb women per se. Which is why "Kevin" wouldn't work in this situation.

And if, in a parallel world, people would call guys Kenny everywhere in the same way Karen is used you could argue that it's misandry, if women wouldn't also get the same treatment. So yes, reverse the situation and the outcome is the same.

Yes, Kevin is different but it's still a pejorative term that's mostly associated with one gender. Now that I think about it, dick would probably be a better example. But my point is that someone saying, "All women are entitled Karens," would be sexist since they're talking about the whole sex. If you're only saying that some women are entitled then how is that sexist? Or is the Karen meme bad because we can no longer acknowledge differences among men and women?
