Why are nice guys being labeled "white knights"?

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

I'm sorry, but is your question about White Knights or Feminism?

To answer the White Knight part of your question:
Nice Guys (tm) are considered by most - men and women - to be dudes who falsely portray themselves as "nice" in order to have sex with women. It's the standard routine of trying to be as nice as possible to women in hopes that it'll get you pussy. It's a position of both inexperience, social ineptitude, and magical thinking. With a little bit of potential violence sprinkled in. Nice Guys (tm) are pretty much the only ones who don't think they're horrible people.

To answer the Feminism part of your question:
GAG is full of beta male gutter dwelling dipshits who start off with no idea of what Feminism is, who it represents, or what it tries to accomplish, and then form very strong opinions about it based on YouTube videos. So if you want to discuss topics related to Feminism here, you need to be able to filter out the garbage and also be a bit aggressive with the things you say.

"Nice Guys" are typically male feminists who pretend to be polite and kind in order to sleep with women, and then lose their sh*t and get loud/violent when the woman rejects them (because almost no women are attracted to Nice Guys). As far as feminism goes... It's spent the past thirty years attacking men, and the past twelve years attacking white men and heterosexuals. Feminism is legitimately a cultural cancer on society, as well as social justice in general, and everyday working people are sick of being compared to Nazis, rapists, racists, and wife-beating misogynists just for being born with "the wrong skin color," the "wrong chromosomes and genitals," and having the "wrong sexuality" by people who have more advantages and privileges in society than they do. That's why almost everyone hates modern feminism. Social justice warriors are almost NEVER decent, logical, rational people.

Because, these days anytime a man agrees with a female IT MUST BE CUZ HE'S TRYING TO GET IN HER PANTS 🙄🙄🙄God forbid it could be that the female is right or actually making sense, cuz you know all us females incapable of any logical thoughts 🙄🙄... Men who assume that a man is only being nice to a female to get sex are also most likely the men that treat women like their only value is sex/p@ssy...
People shouldn't agree with a man over a woman just based on gender, that's pretty stupid... Agree with him if he right... Just like I wouldn't agree with a female over a male if he's right and she's wrong... I'll agree with the one making the most sense regardless of their gender... But obviously some people aren't capable of that 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Puppystarfish23]

Totally agree with everything you just said. Welcome to being a women on G@g, no matter what you say your wrong and your a feminist if your disagree with a man.

A man can't actually agree with a women or treat a woman with respect unless he's after something romantically didn't you know that? 😅 (im being sarcastic by the way)

People put labels on others in hope of promoting their agenda. Trump gave people permission to do this, yet people don't seem to realize it doesn't work. It just gives people something to push against, resulting in the label senders pushing back harder. People think that by being critical of others, that will make them look better.

Let me give you some examples: People say, "He thinks he's so smart... just because he got a college degree." They do this to divert the focus away from the criticism they're receiving for not bothering to get an education.
Women in a store will comment on a girl in the checkout line: "Oh, how disgusting... she must be anorexic... how unhealthy." They do this to divert the focus away from the criticism they're receiving for being overweight. Pushing down on others will never raise anyone up.

Just let these comments go in one ear and out the other, as they're coming from desperate drowning individuals who just want to drag others down with them. If they're going to go, they want to take as many others with them as they can.

White knights feel the need to defend women because they think its going to get them sex and attention. As for feminism, Have you actually seen what they have been doing lately? Google search NOW ( the national organization for women) one of the largest feminist organizations on the planet. They actively stand against fathers being equal parents to mothers, and fight against equal shared parenting. They fight against men being included in the Rape definition, they fight against men being included as victims of domestic violence, When in reality DV is not a gendered issue. Feminists also tout idiotic things like the wage gap, which has been debunked as personal choice, and they tout the 1 in 4 idea which would mean, 1 in 4 women have been raped, when the people that made the study said that that figure is completely wrong, that its closer to 1 in multiple thousands of women.. And finally feminism says false accusations of rape can some how be good for the male accused, and not common, when fbi statistics say otherwise.

Bottom line modern feminism is full of liars and fraud. There are few notable exceptions. Christina Hoff Sommers, and Cassie Jaye. And a few on this site, but the majority of the feminists i have come in contact with are rabid, man hating, evil, and insufferable women.

Because bigots with chauvinistic attitudes rather than face there own flaws have no logical argument so call people "White Knights". It's the same way that bigots describe people as "Snowflakes" if they stick up against there racist/bigoted/sexist views, the irony is the minute you call these idiots out they fall to pieces and resort to arguments. Anyone that needs to resort to labels is an idiot, so don't be discouraged because your opinion is more valued than anyone who is too bigoted to realise there may be two ways of looking at the same situation.

Your so called "White Knights" try to block you off from opinions they don't want you to see or you don't want to hear. That doesn't help anyone. If someone is wrongfully speaking to you, not just telling you what you don't want to hear but full on personal attacks. Ranging from appearance, personal challenges, or anything else below the belt, then any reasonable person would defend you, but if you make claims without evidence or you give personal or below the belt attacks, no reasonable person would defend you, hence the "White Knight". Guys playing nice for tail aren't actually nice, but stand up people don't need a title.

That's a nice sentiment, but unfortunately a vocal part of the so-called "progressive" and "SJW" community has crapped all over trying to build an "accepting community even if you don't agree with everyone's opinions" by screaming to "cancel" everyone they disagree with or calling people "literally Hitler" for things that are, well, quite clearly NOT literally anything close to it.

As to the "nice guy"/"white knight" issue, there's a not insignificant group of so-called nice guys who aren't particularly nice and aren't particularly feminist. But they've adopted a "dating" strategy of claiming to be down with the cause in the hopes that it will get them laid.

In medieval lore, a black knight was evil and a white knight was good... it's just a thing.. so if people call a nice guy a white knight.. then they are just saying he is a good guy from my pov. I'd like to think all guys are white knights, and that all women are white knights too. Sadly not everyone is so good a person and some people can't imagine that a woman can be a knight in modern days society.

[guesswhoseback]

No nice guys and white knights are not the same thing.

A white knight will sell his testicles by throwing other men under the bus and act like he cares about feminism with the ulterior agenda of getting laid. He’s the worst of the worst.

The word “nice guy” in itself is the most f*cking purposely ambiguous stupid ass insult/compliment women use to sound like they appreciate a thoughtful man. However roughly 80% of the time see him as feminine and the other 20% of the time they are very attracted to him.

It’s purposely vague and confusing. Just quit saying it.

[Not_Average]

I think feminism in America is a joke and does more harm than good. There are a ton of white knights here thinking that if they act as if they praise women, they might get some nudes or female attention. Having said that, I think anyone who mindlessly attacks others because of a difference of views possesses the emotional maturity of a child. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of those people on here as well. I got most of them blocked lol. Those kinds of people are entirely irrational and not worth the time.

In common usage a "White Night" is a guy who jumps to the defense of women who do not deserve it. Example: the girl keeps hitting the guy. The guy finally pushes her away. The White Knight (s) jump in and get in the guys's face for touching her, despite her unrelenting aggression and his merely pushing her away so he can leave. There are other variations, but this is the most common type of scenario.

A guy who helps a little old lady across the street, helps push a car out of a snow drift, etc., is just being courteous and kind. Not the same thing.

[normalice]

Insecurity. They don't like that someone who simply thinks women should be paid equally could also think a meritocracy is still a good idea, because it doesn't resemble the straw man that has been carefully prepared for them to assume is an accurate representation of the left. And when the things they see don't resemble the things they are told is there, it makes them insecure about their knowledge maybe being ficticious.

[Unit1]

Normal men: I love women ❤
incels and some MGTOW members: White knight beta cuck. They won't give you any pussy for that.
Normal men: The F is your problem?Yeap. That about sums up what happens if we express how we "normal" men feel in regards to women. It's almost like a sub-category of toxic masculinity.

[EssenceOfLight]

Giving protection if a person is assaulted doesn't make someone to "white knight". The motivation behind this action make a someone to it.
Girls in my country don't use term "white knight" for this type of guys they use "Schleimer" [someone coated with slime]. Personally I find this term fits better to this kind of guys. lol

[Phoenix_the_singer]

Well, there is a very fine line between being nice and being what is known as a "white knight". Now, a white knight can either be described as another word for simp, or, it can mean a man who is only seemingly nice to women for the prospect of potential sex or partnership. It's often hard to tell the difference. So, I guess it's like trying to guess whether or not the paint you're looking at is "white" or "eggshell".

[Zealashton]

its just slander, really, and its insulting to use that phrase for the suck ups, and fake nice guys,

honestly
im like the only nice guy ever, i dont expect a return. i just want to be happy with people im with, and i belive in karma.

[Effably]

It can really be boiled down to the simple concept of coming to someone's aid because of their sex and not their opinion.

As guys ourselves its pretty obvious to most of us when it is the one and not the other. Instantly being on someone's side based on their genital makeup throws out the actual point of a discussion to begin with.

If you wanted a history lesson on why its "white knights" we can do internet history 101.

[cjgsu]

Narcissism makes people angry of anyone who has a different opinion then them.

They think they're so important that only there opinion matters and if someone has a different view point they are monsters.

[Zeus_66]

So what exactly are you asking? You gave a statement that doesn't match your question. And in that statement, you generalize both genders for what reason I can't figure out. Help me help you and clarify please...

[DizzyDesii]

Idc if he's called a “white knight” by disrespectful dudes, I like when guys are nice. I guess thats the rude dudes way of calling the nice guy a whimp. I don't know. But i dont give rude dudes the time of day. I want a guy who has my back and if that makes him a white knight (although dark knight sounds cooler) than so be it haha

[filjongrif]

White knights.. don't they make tumble dryers? Do u mean knight in shining armour.. white knights are probably a KKK inspired group building a arian army

[Anonymous]

Sure I want to be part of an accepting community, but the feminist community is the most intolerant and UNaccepting group in society today. So I fail to see your point.

Are far as nice guys, it is women who are constantly complaining about how bad they are. Just do a search here in GAG for "nice guys" and you get dozens of questions and comments from females about how degusting nice guys are.
