@femfreq "White Knight" is an attempt to re-frame acts of empathy and solidarity as somehow self-serving or self-aggrandising. All the nope.

@femfreq "why support her, she's not gonna sleep with you" - the ONLY reason they can come up with to be supportive of something -
@krisstraub I'm sure every single complainer who voted Obama was mad that the president did not show up at their door & blow them in thanks -
@krisstraub Climate change is bad, we say, in hopes that we get a handjob from Captain Planet -
@twoscooters "now say whose power it is… say it. whose power is it" -

@femfreq First time I got called that it worked, shut me up. Have since learned it just means I'm pissing off the right people. -
@femfreq Had never been challenged about my motivations for sticking up for people. "What if I am doing this for female attention?" -
@femfreq Raised to always see both sides. Still haven't learned that sometimes they're not worth listening to.

@femfreq I think people think of white knights as having an agenda - feminism for the sake of getting laid. -

@femfreq Not a slur, white knighting is a thing that happens and it is detrimental to feminism. -
@AdmiralHip@femfreq But it's also used to insult and undermine those who are genuine supporters. -
@MrAdamSLeslie@femfreq uh it's still not a slur. They aren't being oppressed by called white knights. -
@AdmiralHip@femfreq Not oppressed; but it is an attempt to embarrass genuine allies into silence. -
@MrAdamSLeslie@femfreq ...being called a white knight if they weren't being one. -
@MrAdamSLeslie@femfreq if that's the worst thing that can happen to you if you're an ally, then that's not really a big deal.
