A pathetic excuse for a man. This type of male patrols the internet seeking to be a quote on quote hero towards women on the internet. He is the kind of guy to act like all the guys are bad and he is good. Say a girl leaves a guy for a stupid reason. The white knight in all of his sneaky dishonesty will validate her no matter what she did or why she left. These type of males are not loyal to other men and will do anything just for a crum of pussy. They sacrifice their values assuming they have any to get what they want. Truly a beta bitch boy.
Girl cheats on guy with his bestfriend. Guy gets mad and tells her hes done with her shes a selfish bitch.
White knight: Oh you can do better he didnt deserve you. he just doesnt understand you.

A white knight is typically male. I've never heard of a female white knight, but these days anything is possible. White knights are people who offer help to others—motivated by classic virtue signaling. White knights most commonly virtue signal to benefit women, often with unconscious hopes that they'll ultimately end up getting a relationship or even sex for doing so. But there is a fair amount of white knighting done by men superficially defending other perceived inferior or weaker people (even possibly other men), such as politicians white knighting to insincerely "protect" minorities just in order to get their votes whether the minorities actually need the protection or not. Judges will often white knight to help women win in divorce cases against men even without evidence that the woman has actually been wronged in any way.
When Randy Newman wrote "Short People", most of the protests about the song were from tall people; most of the short people actually understood what the song was all about, but still the taller people tended to white knight against the song for them anyway.

Typically a white dude adventuring in a whitetruck using photography as a way to pick-up desperate white chicks in remote locations with the hope of scoring Mexican food and maybe sex.
Ricky: Hey Bobby, Did you hear about Kevin's latest endeavor?
Bobby: Did he eat 14 burritos for lunch again?
Ricky: No man, better! I'm telling you he went full White Knight out in Joshua Tree! He scored free tacosand almost got laid, but he fell asleep after the tacos.
Bobby: Dude, that's it, I'm white knighting up in Big Bear next weekend! Wanna join?

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

A misogynist who treats women like weak damsels in distress, and takes it upon himself to "rescue" them to boost his own status.
Don't be a white knight.
