White Knight

Contemptuous term used by incels to criticize any man who calls them out on their misogyny. Since incels only believe in transactional relationships for sex with women, they can’t envision any other reason a man would defend a woman.

Man1: She’s a whore
Man2: Wow. What’s wrong with you?
Man1: what are you, some kind of White Knight?
