    Male allies are essential in the fight for gender justice. “White Knight” is a slur used to discourage men from taking a stand.

        @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 it's a form of gender policing: "behave how we want you to of be emasculated" since "real" men don't "put pussy on a pedestal" etc

        @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 It's apparently shameful to treat fellow human beings like fellow human beings.

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

        @MrAdamSLeslie @femfreq uh it's still not a slur. They aren't being oppressed by called white knights.

        @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.
