There is a Male Version of “Karen”, Thank you Very Much

It’s just not apparent to those it’s not apparent to

The concept or point behind Karen is this definition:

A woman who is not socially competent and is aggressive in non-aggressive situations: unhealthy aggression, inappropriate, and abnormal behavioral responses with normal life situations.

The male version is:

Lazy

Any questions?

Okay fine. So, a woman who has an unhealthy balance is “jumpy”, overcontrolling, and unhappy; and a man who has an unhealthy life balance is lazy or fearful.

The male and female brain respond to situations differently. Women approach situations with more feelings and emotions, thus those will flare up in the situation. Men approach the situation with more hero or making up their own laws, thus the opposite, the unbalanced, is lazy.

Some say women compensate by being so-called “manly”. Men become passive, not attempting to be feminine (let’s be honest, femininity is too pretty for men to even begin to try).

Dr. Ryan Anderson calls this (in essence):

Equality of differences
