If you spend more time and effort complaining about racist white women being called "Karen"

I hear you StarfishSaver and get what you are saying. I generally agree with your posts about bullshit deflection tactics/intellectually dishonest arguments.

But possibly some posters who dislike this, are not supporting racists or dismissive of racial injustice. They are probably not driven by prejudices against black men or more broadly even against men who face class based, religion based or any prejudices. It is the worry over actual predators or conniving, bullying misogynists (think incels, men's right activists, bros, pickup artists, rooshv, stickman) will try to weaponize internet stereotypes.

There is a tendency amongst a specific set of predatory misogynists to leap at any available opportunity to represent all women as generally more emotionally/mentally unstable than men. And as more liable to make false allegations than men. It is not all or even most men but it is a particular creepy subset.

In the wake of metoo (which is not a perfect movement but a very necessary one), a lot of women have been emboldened to speak out against living and working conditions they find hostile, demeaning, violating and infantilizing. We have to balance criticism of dishonest women or women who actually weaponize their privilege or status (and usually to disproportionately affect men without much power), with a recognition of the continuing perpetuation of harmful stereotypes of women as hysterical, deceitful,irrational etc. Women are still often perceived as illogical and as unreliable narrators.

A large % of women (including relatively priviliged women) would not want to make dishonest/inaccurate accusations or be oblivious to their own biases/lapses in logical thinking.
