What's interesting about all of this is Karen is not the only name term used for such entitled people. I have heard Becky and Susan too. In fact, there is an image that floated around Twitter some time ago, and I can see why Karen is used as much as it is. I can not post the image, as there is a NSFW element to it. However, Karen's age range is 35 to 45, which is about the median age. Becky is 19 to 35. Susan is 45 to 60.
I find the term Karen even more funny because I have a half sister named Karen and she is totally that type of person too.
I also think the term Karen can be applied to anyone, but in my experience, I notice more men are passive when it comes to matters like this. Women are more headstrong and are move vocal about any sort of injustice that affects them poorly. I used to work in retail and I saw far more women get angered over little things than men. So I guess the term Karen was coined as just a way to lump them all together.
