Who’s the male “Karen”?

Being a “Karen” these days is no picnic!

What’s the male equivalent of the mask-shunning, manager-requesting woman?

A Reddit user mapped out different men’s naming trends over the past 70 years to find what man’s name followed the same path as “Karen”…rising through the ’50s, peaking in the late ’50s then dropping steadily to almost become extinct in the 2010s.

And the answer is…Terry!

The man’s name “Terry” followed almost the exact same popularity cycle as “Karen” for women since 1950.
