The White Knight 1.0: The Chivalrous Overprotective Blue Pilled Fool
The Manospherian 1.0 concept of a White Knight was defined in various contexts and degrees as…
- The Blue Pilled Fool: A man who believes that women are precious pearls of boundless grace and immense beauty, and yet are altogether defenseless and perpetually victimized by a cold world filled with carelessly cruel people and harsh realities, and therefore practices chivalry, enforces special privileges for women, and promotes gynocentrism.
- The Gynocentric Democrat: Women, White Knights, weak Betas, and naive Blue Pill fools congregate in select social microcosms in which everyone agrees women are good and right, and men are bad and wrong. Within this group solidarity, WKs are those who cover, defend, and justify women’s bad decisions and protect them from the consequences thereof.
- The Male Feminist: A man who stands up for women’s rights to be absolutely equal to men’s, but then comes to her rescue and/or defends her interests whenever her moral irresponsibility becomes an embarrassing burden, thereby enabling and falsely validating women’s false fantasies of egalitarianism. These men are almost always motivated by the belief that they can gain favor with women who will reward them with love, acceptance, “friendship”, and maybe some snatch if they mold their slimy souls around women’s deceptive lies. MFers are known to be the least ethical and most immoral of all men listed here.
- The Orbiter: A man who falsely believes that a particular woman belongs to him (or will eventually), when in fact, she’s silently keeping him firmly in the friend zone and utilizing his desires for her own ends. Such a man will do backflips to defend her, lie profusely to her and for her, and obsequiously place his left nut in a thumb vice just to please her.
- The P00n Pedestalizer: A man who is an indignantly principled, self-sacrificing, wholly devoted worshipper of P00n and of the human hosts who bear them (but whom seldom bare them for such woebegone men).
- The Useful Idiot: An altruistic, well-meaning, but naïve man who intends to defend, guard, and protect women as a sex, thinking it to be his masculine duty. But he is, in fact, too Blue Pilled to effect the good he intends, and ends up being a useful idiot within women’s self-serving schemes.
In general, WKs protect women from the natural consequences of their own follies, foolishness, and various vices, prevent women from being held accountable, and block RP aware men from doing any effective good. They think themselves to be bastions of morality, pillars of societal ethics, and unseen, unrecognized heroes for these things.
Common traits that often (but not all or always) appear in WKs include:
- They believe women like and are attracted to Nice Guys.
- They operate on an internal covert contract, in which they expect to have their desires rewarded if they behave a certain way.
But all their efforts are in vain. These women, once liberated from their responsibilities to themselves and humanity in general, redirect their energies towards nude Pussy Hat marches, Machiavellian solipsism, throwing neon green dildos onto basketball courts midgame, and other stupid, self-centered schemes.
The White Knight 2.0: The Sinister Minister
As reviewed in a previous post, Dr. David Edgington’s concept of a “White Knight”, which I’ll call WK 2.0, rendering the above as WK 1.0, is somewhat darker and more treacherous than WK 1.0.
The Churchian Edition of the White Knight 2.0 takes the form of pastors / leaders who…
- Tend to be rather Blue Pilled, chivalrous, perpetually greasy grinning, P00n pandering pansy @sses.
- Tend to view women as inherently pure-hearted and saintly, and men as disruptive, suspect, and untrustworthy.
- Accept one-sided stories from the wife which invariably calumniate and indict the husband, without hearing the husband’s side of the story.
- Accountability, correction, and discipline are viewed as inherently cruel and unnecessary, rather than “tough love”, and therefore shield women from censure / rebuke.
- Conduct counseling sessions that are more focused on offering rebellious wives a catharsis, ameliorating their frustrations, and affirming their feelings, rather than calling them to be obedient to the scriptures and pursuing marital sanctification.
- Blame husbands for being ‘bitter’ and ‘harsh’ with their wives, when in fact, these men’s behaviors may very well be an entirely justifiable, reasonable, and/or warranted response to the caustic, controlling, disrespectful, and reviling behavior of their wives.
- Automatically rush to the defense of any woman who claims that she’s being “abused” by her husband. Based on several years of experience in counseling troubled married couples, Edgington says wives who make such claims are not only misleading, they’re often lying. In many cases, THEY are the ones who are abusing / reviling their husbands!
- Meet wives privately in counseling sessions, without their husbands present. If pastors ask why the husband didn’t come, wives will say he was busy at work, or didn’t have time to come, or refused to come, when in fact he was never informed of their meeting. Thus, it is not only a private meeting, but it is also essentially a ‘secret’ meeting. These pastors never think to question it or reschedule sessions. This creates an arena in which wives can misconstrue the facts, roll out the drama, the doe eyes, and the elephant tears, and tell all sorts of lies, all to win the undeserved favor of the highest authority in the local church body. WK pastors swallow it whole.
- Routinely choose to be unconditionally empathetic to women (but never to men) rather than critical, and believe all they are told, without any critical thought, and without ever checking with the husband to get his side of the story. Instead, they’ll condemn husbands based entirely upon the wife’s feelings and stories alone.
Edgington said that “White Knights are not shepherds, but wolves”. He describes these pastors, elders, leaders, and counselors in the church as conspiring against the husband’s authority over their own wives and families, and says, in so many words, that this is routine, i.e., it is the norm. Sadly, these WKs are actually betraying their brethren, their community, and ultimately, the Lord Himself, all while thinking that they’re doing right by women. No, they’re doing a great injustice. It is a demonic deception.
Edgington also said that wives are more likely to repent than White Knights. (Approximately 1 in 4 wives repent when confronted with scripture.) Feminists and Reviling Wives themselves aren’t the worst problem; it’s the simptoony White Knights who defend and enable their destructive foolishness. I suppose this is because of the inherent ego-boosting moral satisfaction WKs get from playing the hero (in their own self-estimation).
Conclusions
Lately, it has become widely recognized that holding women accountable is an important and necessary recourse to aid their maturation as need be. However, White Knights (including pastors, leaders, and counselors) stymie this process, either dimwittedly or intentionally.
These WKs need to be held accountable for enabling women’s sins. As Edgington said, “White Knights must repent, resign, or be removed.”
Men need courage to countermand the offending voices saying that “Women are Strong and Independent; Men are weak”, “Women are more spiritually attuned; Men are wrong”, and “Women are helpless victims; Men are the problem”.
Men must band together to confront WKs in the church, no matter who they are, pastors, elders, deacons, counselors, handsome Ch@ds, or whoever.
Men, identify who your Red Pilled Christian brothers are, form a pact of solidarity, and through your numbers and influence, win your church for Christ!
Let not Satan titillate the truculent Tingle tarts in your congregation for even one more day. White Knighting and P00n pandering Gynocentrism are sociosexual sins that must be cast out of the church at any cost. Count that cost and pay up to see the glory of the Lord at work in your church!
