Clarification needed: What's a "Frau"?

Middle-aged woman with stereotypical middle-aged Midwestern US woman interests.

Both: that horrendous bitch that annoys you at work AND a generic tit and snatch haver. Depends entirely on the context.

I asked that question when I was new to DL in 2015. This video is the answer I got. Watch the whole thing.

A stereotypical term for a stereotype often used as a slur or as an attempt to gate keep who gets to post and what topics are legitimate on the DL

Yikes R3 - that is the frauest Karen on planet earth.

R3/R5 Angela's rant is Literature. It's canonised. People rewatch it every holiday season like it's a beloved movie.

Frauism can encompass all times of women. To me it means a sanctimonious, boring cunt.

R3, the woman in that video looks exhausting.

It was originally short for hausfrau and I think R1 has the best definition so far, but it's true that some of DL's misogynists use it to mean just about any woman.

Add to the above replies, usually over-weight with her feet spilling over the soles of her sandals. Oh, and they LOVE to scrapbook and cannot resist home-marketing parties such as Pampered Chef and Epicure.

The term is overused. DL uses it for every straight woman now and to bash them as a collective. Hausfrau or frau means bland, conservative and intellectually uncurious women who are into stereotypical middle American interests and usually chubby, frumpy and have a litter of kids. I guess it's kind of like a gendered version of hayseed or hick. Not all frauen are Karens that's the evil version. Ironically many queens on here are frauen themselves with their cooking, home decor, fashion and soap opera threads. They lie and say they're so masculine and love to bash straight women over jealousy of having more access to straight dick.

Fraus were a bit Karens before Karens existed. Fraus are white, basic, annoying, they go see movies like "est, pray, love", (they have such stickers as wall art), they love Meryl Streep and Celine Dion, they watch the Kelly Clarkson show, they're absolutey charmless, humorless, usually fat, they are convinced that their fupa is God's gift to the straight men, they secretly despise gay men , but like to pet them . Their BPD affected single mom besties are referred to as "goddesses", that men are too shitty to appreciate and deserve. they come here to praise Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep ('the best who ever was", LOL) and create endless SATC & AJLT thread, they are convinced that they are the creme de la creme, the peak of human kind.

R11 right, that's what I thought too.

It's not just a term for a woman you don't like or disagree with, but for a conventional NPC frumpy office or church-lady/Mom type. Crotchfruit, Jesus, 'Live Laugh Love', macrame, sales, Weight Watchers, etc.

OP, if you're a female and posting here, Unless you're a lez, 99% chances that's YOU. Get a life

Lots of “MISOGYNY!!!’” cries on the DL again. Must be the influx of hetero women from the true crime bullshit.

Trying to define a "Frau" is like trying to define pornography: impossible to nail down precisely but you know it when you see it.

It's a typical misogynistic slur used by gay men.

On the street we just say "fish". Here they seem to say "frau". I've never heard "frau"on the street.

Most women aren't fraus. Fraus really should have stuck with it's original definition of a conservative and dull middle American woman. But even still, that's not Karen. They're often harmless if not naive and clueless.

[R3] So help me baby Jesus, that bitch "Jen" is SO going to get her ass reamed with a peach bellini!

"I cant accept your "lifestyle", but I 'accept' you as a friend."

Translation:

("You'll never babysit my son!!!")

Jen from Appleton had her life devastated by this Angela frau.

Thank you. I'm a gay man with things to do. I don't wanna babysit your son.

(Well, we'll wait until he's 18).

No one explain it to the OP. This is one of the ways to weed out the newbies.

I haven't imagined a DL term frau to be meant for as chubby and simple midwestern hausfrau. I imagined a pompous, obnoxious bitch like the ones in Big little lies and Nanny's diaries. Could also be black if she is wealthy and full of herself, Michelle Obama, who gets offended when a small white woman ask her to help her getting something from top shelf, would be the perfect black specimen.

that's just a "cunt"

r25 Michelle Obama is a man.

Fraus love shit like this.

Any straight woman posting on DL is a frau. They take offense at everything, write long, boring screeds, and have no sense of humor.
