White Knighting

Discussed feminism with my girlfriend. She didn't understand why I kept walking in L-shapes around her. I explained that I was White Knighting her.

We broke up.

  2. I have no idea what you're talking about - White Knighting??? sorry but it's gone right over my head. Is this an American joke that obviously I don't get? Goes and sits in the dumb corner....

    2. In recent years there's been a very popular pejorative usage on the internet to mean someone vigorously defending a cause, usually a liberal/progressive one, either falsely or obnoxiously.

    Off topic - I have started a classic unearthed from my unread tower, so may join in NaNoReMo.

    2. A great choice, and I'll be keen on your interpretations. I've read much less of Rushie's fiction than his non-fiction (and actually, non-fiction about him).
