Um, Dude. You really need to get those "Men As God" and "Men As A Woman's Last Hope" delusions checked out by a doctor. They look cancerous.

You'll have to define what you mean by "white knight," especially since you're using it as a verb. I've never heard that term used outside of this forum, and even here I've only heard it used by douchey-type dudes as a noun to describe other men.

When you refer to a woman "white knighting men," are you talking about women being nice or kind to men? I see that all the time.

Really? It's used in probably 95% of the internet.

I'd love to see the data to back up this claim. If it's true, then I guess I primarily use the other 5% of the internet.

I wouldn't worry about it. 70% of statistics are made up on the spot.

...The point I was trying to make is that it's used elsewhere on the internet, not just here.

I don't doubt that. It's still the only place I see it.
