“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The anti-Karen

by | May 3, 2026 | Office Space | 0 comments

Everyone knows the “Karen” meme – the bossy, unpleasant, grating woman who starts out by demanding to speak with the manager, and just gets much worse from there. She is anti-feminine in every way – difficult, overbearing, loud, sometimes foul-mouthed, and absolutely convinced of her own moral superiority over those that she considers beneath her. This by default includes most men, which is why the term, “Karen”, encapsulates the feminist ideology.

If we were to conduct a reductio ad absurdum, as it were, and use a quantum physics analogy, the “Karen” is a high-mass, highly-charged, yet completely useless particle that simply destroys matter and harmony wherever it goes.

Of late, however, there have been quite a few women showing up all over the place on social media, who do not look like tradthots – that is to say, attention-whores looking for superficial validation from thirsty men. Unlike those women, these ones actually love cooking for their husbands and children.

We shall therefore dub these elusive and rare anti-Karens as the newly-discovered “Karissa”:

The single most captivating thing about this lady is, of course, her smile. It is a thing of beauty to watch – every time she steps into the kitchen, she lights up, and that is the sort of thing that just makes a man’s day.

Indeed, precisely how she, her husband, and her children, are not morbidly obese, given the high-carb foods she seems to put together effortlessly, is probably a mystery physicists will never figure out.

(Of course, the answer is simple: we are only being shown the “unusual” things she cooks, not the everyday stuff.)

Even so, there is something remarkably therapeutic about watching a happy woman cook. Most of us men can relate to this: it just makes our day better.

These days, finding such a woman is like finding a unicorn. I live alone, and I have spent the last 20 years cooking for myself, so I know at least the basics of how to slap together a simple, nutritious meal that takes very little time. It does not take a whole lot of ingenuity to figure out how to cook a steak, or some burgers, or a pasta dish – this is for when I have female company over, naturally – or eggs in any form (poached, scrambled, omelette, whatever).

Even that extremely low bar, however, is beyond the ability of most women under the age of… well, 35, at this point, to clear.

Therefore, if you find a woman like her – marry her, pump her full of kids, and enjoy your life to the absolute fullest, because you have gotten EXTRAORDINARILY lucky.

That said, there are quite a few women popping up all over EWCHOOB doing similar things, and they are definitely more along the lines of tradthots. Exhibit A below:

Yeah… let’s just say that, between the outfits, the cleavage, and the winks, she knows her audience, and gives them exactly what they want. (To be as fair as possible – she actually owns and manages her own restaurant, and we have to respect that kind of hustle.)

To conclude with, all I can say is that both women in question are Eyeties, which simply confirms, yet again, the reason why we RATHER LIKE AND APPROVE OF EYETIES around here.
