After reading that: I am not a fan of how wikipedia calls Karen ageist, sexist & racist but the wikipedia page for mansplaining says that it's "one of the most creative new words in the last decade".
To me these two terms are basically identical: Take a behaviour (Entitlement, Obnoxiousness) and genderise/racialise it.
It's stupid and divisive, but what I find is that right wing people are happy to use Karen and get mad about Mansplain, but left wing people are happy to use Mansplain but get mad at Karen.

Why is this?
