Why do "Karen"'s exist?


Where did we go wrong positing that women are untouchable, can't do wrong, are entitled to be jerks to whomever, when ever they want?
Is this an extension of bad parenting? Kids that grew up with trophies every month, and never doing any "wrong"?
Did it escalate after metoo was fired up? Where women are untouchable?
So, they go off on people like they are never wrong, annoying the rest of the normal world.

I'm aware guys are A Holes, we own up to that, we're dicks sometimes and we know it, sometimes we get our faces punched in because of it. But one would EVER punch a girl. Because of this they can get away with KARENing??

I firmly believe we should allow slapping the public, and not be a legal assault provided no one was injured. Maybe this would help people know when they are being stupid and crossing a line, if others put them in their place at the time instead of walking away.
Everyone records everything now, so the footage would show when someone deserved it.

I think there's a small subset of people, men included, that have avoidance or anger issues and misdirect that toward strangers because they aren't bold enough to face their real enemies. There's also the huge factors of classism and capitalism, where the more money one spends, the higher the expectation for better or flawless service. Not to mention some people are bullies, and people are often trying to get something for nothing through bullying.

But while I'm glad so many people rush to the defense of the underpaid working class, I think many often forget that, precisely because so many people are underpaid and under-trained, they don't care about doing a good job or are fallible and incompetent. If I had a child with a peanut allergy, and someone's poor listening skills led to my kid being poisoned, believe me when I say I won't care what I'm called while going full scorched earth on whomever is responsible.

Your peanut example of life and death is very different than someone shooting somebody over French fries.

reply

I wouldn't equate a Karen with someone who shoots up a place over fries, that sounds like an escaped mental patient requiring urgent care and a speedy return to the psych ward. A Karen imo is someone who asks to speak to the manager because someone charged them an extra $1 or put dairy in their soy latte. Given that you think most if not all Karens are women, then I don't know how you came to the conclusion they're also shooters since most shooters are male.

So, your comparison of a peanut allergy to someone shooting up a restaurant seems pretty out of place.

reply

yeah true. karens MOSTLY don't turn to violence.
I beleive though, that the fries shooting started as a karen event

reply

If most Karens don't turn to violence, then it's not a Karen thing. The shooting event you're speaking of was likely an exception

reply

I said started

Karen's exist because some people are offended by women using the non emergency police to settle a dispute rather than resorting to battery,

It is a good hing to call then non emwgency police rather than act like a stereotypical roid raging male

Whyoonly women? Because there is no justification for battery, you hit some one you go to jail, seveity oes not matter to the law I press charges against your slap and the male would likely engage in a full out brawl sndeveryoe go-to jail because t an actual crime has been committed being offended is not a crime,
