The failed manhood of white knights

Great points in the article, but White Knighting is a bit of an instinctual response to someone you care about. I'd want to kick the shit out of any woman who hurt my male friends, or any male who hurt my female friends, or any combination of any gender. Obviously violence is not an answer to anything, but when my friend was sexually assaulted, I was about 30 seconds away from driving to her college campus with a baseball bat and threatening the fuck out of the guy that did it. And I'm not even male. :/

I'm not too impressed with this article. It makes a lot of generalizations and actually puts a negative light on what I wouldn't consider "white knighting." While it sucks we don't get the same messages reversing the genders I wouldn't say it's unreasonable to think positively on someone who kicks the ass of an abuser to protect the victim. Look at it this way. If the genders were reversed I'd be ok with it too.

I am surprised that this is getting as many upvotes as it is... my observation has been that many within the MRM feel that it is their goal to be free from social pressures on what "manhood" is or should be.

Why do you say things like

For most women these men are service machines prepared to make assaults on their behalf

Do you have any statistics to support your assertion? Any proof besides a tiny amount of biased anecdotal evidence that is generalized to millions of people?

You make a lot of good points, but I can't take you seriously because of things like this.
