she-devil’s advocate 

When you step up to insert feminist principles into a conversation that needs it, even though it might not be readily received.
I’m just playing she-devil’s advocate here, but maybe it’s not fair for you to assume that all the women in this office want you to make passes at them.

devils advocate

devils advocate 

someone who thinks they are helping others think of the opposite side of an argument or even of the weaknesses, who really just pisses everyone off because they are so untactful and confrontational it makes conversations less enjoyable, people less willing to expand their minds, and results in your social life declining because of their existence.
