White Knighting is an attempt at being a feminist ally that assumes that men are better feminists than women are.

Examples of White Knighting might include:

  • re-stating a woman's feminist arguments so as to improve them, on the assumption that you can express them more clearly and objectively
  • defending a woman in an argument, cutting off her own defence of herself
  • concern trolling about the tone of feminist expression
