directed at women. In a real sense, all women are Karens. Misogyny is about gender, not skin color, though black women suffer the effects of its malice above all others.

Including indirectly as in this -- through the encouragement of what should never be encouraged be by using "Karens" as an excuse. Indulging hostility doesn't relieve it, it increases and emboldens it.

My guess is, if examined, we'd also find a fair amount of overlap between "Karen" perps and those who directed misogynistic malice toward Hillary. She did present herself as a giant target, albeit in a far more admirable (to some) way. And there were certainly convenient crowds to hide in, which, like these now, pretended their hostility had nothing to do with gender.

We're living through mean times, and it's not only the right who are less than their best versions.
