As much as I bash on Feminism it's important to remember the Feminist didn't ruin this country all on their own. Certainly attaching their banner to the "Civil Rights" cause that made some pigs more equal than others helped them out immensely (Keep in mind Affirmative Action includes everyone but White Men then go observe a government building at lunch time to see who really benefits from it) but in the end the greatest ally of the Femocrats has been the White Knights.
These guys are easy to spot once you know what to look for. In blogger land they will join every recipe and kitchen homesteader blog they can find (While shunning Male Blogs that speak the truth) because they crave one thing more than anything else. Female attention. They are like dogs doing any trick or barking on command just to get that "You're a good boy" cooing from a member of the opposite sex. These days mostly they are not dangerous to relationships as they are old. White Knights you see are mostly a product of generations who didn't have to pay the price for the changes they willingly agreed to. They lack true empathy towards their son's, nephews and other young Men, they are simply unable to see their way past some romantic fairytale and will make decisions based on their need of praise fulfillment.
You can see them at work. They are the old guys with their bellies hanging over their belts and ties that no longer reach below their breast bone who make sure every promotion goes to some cute young Woman that pays attention to them. The one's who will insist the cute new receptionist can handle the department manager position and can learn on the job, while ignoring the six men who have been working in that department for years.
They are the old judges who should have retired 30 years ago who slam the gavel down allowing Men to be thrown off their property, have their children removed but made to pay child support even if they don't have a job. Declare biased laws and regulations Constitutional and generally support unequal government at (other) Men's expense.
They are just as dangerous as the Multi-Culters, decrying any myth or lie as fact as long as it get's them the attention they crave. Reality and consequences mean little to White Knights. So what if they undermine and destroy the civilization that protects everyone as long as they get to play the social hero along the way and be praised for their "enlightenment".
Yet take heart my fellow realist. White Knight days are ending swiftly. It was/is a product of out of control spending and a burden placed on the backs of others. It cannot last. Those who have come since the grand old days of the White Knights have suffered the most under their traitorous self aggrandizement and threw off the yoke of fantasy. While those of us who came after also value Women and their praise we learned to identify the fluff and simple selfishness that came from those who were simply pushing an agenda.
The White Knights you see forgot that although they craved Female attention and longed to make them happy it was ultimately the younger Men who defended them and worked to keep them alive.
Feminism you see will last about 15 seconds after the lights go out but the old White Knights? They won't last much longer because they have nothing to offer in the natural world of survival.
Keep Prepping Everyone!!!
An interesting perspective.i enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteJohn - Than you!!!. White Knights literally drive me crazy. It's like any vindictiveness from a Woman is fine with them but they jump in defense at the drop of hat. They are truly the more chauvinistic members of society too. Just frauds everyone.
DeleteView from the woman's side of the street here...
ReplyDeleteI strongly dislike *feminists* and your *White Knights* are not much better.
I blame Alan Alda and other *male feminists* for the rise of these misguided male individuals. Instead of helping women, they persist to this day in insisting that women need to jump the line for jobs, etc. to help them achieve parity with men in the workforce/education/whatever. Screw that! I refuse to be treated like a child! If I can do the job/pass the course/whatever, I want to do it on my own merit. Same thing with the frickin' affirmative action programs. By continuing these programs, we are telling those benefiting by them that they NEED help, that they are NOT as good and that without this help, they could not succeed. Poor *children*, you need these programs...
Getting annoyed just writing about it.
Guess I better go feed the livestock...calms me down...
Lamb - I hear ya. Trouble is many of them just don't see it that way. Far too many think they deserve it regardless and accept it as their due because of the "Patriarchy". I say it was the Patriarchy that gave em what they got.

DeleteYou call them white knights and I call them metrosexuals. Unfortunately I have seen as many of them in younger generations as older generations. And they show up far more in white collar college educated fare than in blue collar trade school fare. Also more in government and large corporations than in non-government smaller companies.
ReplyDeleteIndy - Oh I know what you are saying about the younger generation one's except for many of them it is a slight bit different. Hormones without wisdom. That can be managed and is typically limited to at least one Woman at a time kinda thing. Also the younger ones don't have any power to benefit multitudes over the guys. Mostly anyway. After they have taken their knocks they will begin singing a different tune,
DeleteI'd say the metrosexuals do it more to "pull" women as they all love a guy who's in touch with is feminine side!
DeleteKev - I am not so sure about that. I hafta admit I enjoyed the hell outta some side benefits of Feminism when I was growing up. At 16, 20, 30 I was all about the new liberated Woman but I never treated them special very often and I noticed that the cold shoulder very often worked as a better attractant than laying on the charm. Kinda what they call game before it was called game I guess. I mostly found the girls didn't like the guys who embraced their feminine side in practice no matter how much they claimed that's what they wanted.
DeleteThere have been White Knights since the beginning of time. A pretty face and big boobs have gotten better results than education in many jobs. Old guys always were pushovers for attention from pretty members of the opposite sex. Women always knew this and used it to their advantage.
ReplyDeleteTewshooz - There was a place for it in days gone by. I would go so far as to say it was as much a Woman's right to count on them in say 1920 as it was a Man's responsibility to defend his family. Trouble is the Feminist wanted to eat their cake and then get more given to them and they knew just who to manipulate into giving it to them.
DeleteMy bet is the old White Knights are a dying breed though. I am not far from entering the old category and a know a few like me and we won't be old White Knights sucking up to the young girls.
"Merely a flesh wound", and I'd gladly take the title of Black Knight. ( Do I get extra points for working in a Monty Python quote? )
ReplyDeleteK - I will award you extra points if you can tell me what the peasants called the lady of the lake.
DeleteAfter describing how the collective distributes power, Dennis calls the "Lady of the Lake" some watery tart (that threw a sword at you).
DeleteYou can't wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! (paraphrased)
FYI, I've probably seen this movie [and Apocalypse Now] quite a few times after my return trip home from the local pub. Perhaps one of the most widely quoted movies of all times.
DeleteWho's that then?
Must be a king.
How do you know that?
He hasn't got shit all over him.
Ok you get extra points because "Watery Tart" was the correct answer :)
DeleteI hate those dudes!
ReplyDeleteMe too. Far too many of them will fool ya too.
DeleteThese guys are not White Knights. They are wimps who were xrayed when hired to see if they had a backbone. If so they did not qualify for management . That way they never threatened any higher ups' jobs or "manhood". Now they are the higher ups. And our economy is a result of their incompetence and lack of risk taking. When they had a job opening they gave it to a young girl they could fantasize (all they are capable of) about. Of course, they would hire one of the older, smarter women to handle any work that had to be done, an audit or report to share holders etc. while he and "little Suzie" take the credit and the business trips. This was pointed out to me when attending an office party at my husband's job. There was a young woman there who I had taught years ago. She had been severely " learning disabled" (could barely spell her name in 4th grade). Incredulous, I innocently asked what was her job in their engineering department? Not a single person could tell me her job but it had been eliminated after budget cuts and she had been transferred and made a supervisor. Being a sweet, innocent, quiet little southern lady I asked my husband as soon as we got to the car: WHAT THE H---? This was a government office and " our tax dollars" were just one of my protests. My very reasonable husband said' "How would you like to be one of those older women who had worked there for years and now were being "supervised" by "Little Suzie" while they do all the work?" Put it in perspective but didn't make it easier.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, we must encourage our young men to become independent contractors, start their own business, work a second or third job to squirrel away enough money to invest in rental property whatever they can do to tunnel out when they are caught in a dead end position. They can do it. I did with very little skills. Taught for 25 years, worked in the union when we distributed bumper sticker that read :" Support Your Teachers". Duh!!! Decided I could support myself! Eliminated union and other volunteer work. Took a second job, worked every extra job I could get during summer, paid off my mortgage, bought another house rented first to pay mortgage on second, got real estate license to save on commission, bought rental property, paid off with rent received. scrubbed, grubbed, painted, evicted, rerented until got good tenants. When paid off looked for and bought another one.Repeat. We must encourage our young people do what you know, learn all you can, if something is legal and you made a profit, do it again. Its called: "Playing Ball on Running Water" . Look for a life partner, not a "little Suzie" . Check out last chapter of Proverbs and have your sons and other young men in your lives memorize it. Choose wisely, get married and stay married. Won't be easy but real men can make it work and raise their sons and daughters to repeat. This sounds like a school marm's lecture and it is but we have to get control of this mess and start to clean it up.
Anon - All good advice and interesting observations. My only comment would be that even going as individual contractors today's young men are at a huge disadvantage with all the bias towards female owned this and minority owned that they miss out on a lot of the jobs. Especially when government spending is about the only thing moving the economy.
DeleteAs to marriage I am torn. On one hand I encourage it with proper Ladies of course and I want to see literally millions of young Babies but it is such a gamble for the young men. Far too often people change (both men and women) and what was a fine upstanding a sensible spouse can turn into a ruinous entitled ex-wife quick.
You are right. The deck is stacked against young men today. Minority and female owned businesses are given the breaks. That's why we as individuals have to hire our own. Many groups support their own race or ethnic group when doing business. I wanted to show how open minded I was and went to a minority owned insurance agency. He couldn't spell duplex!!!! I'm not kidding. You have to earn my business. Here in south Florida we beg for service people, especially during the winter season. Not many minorities working because they can get a check or at least their baby's mama can. A good plumber, electrician, mechanic, or AC tech is worth their weight in gold. Our schools and colleges are graduating people without saleable skills. I urge young people to get into a good apprentice type position, learn all you can, move to a right to work state with a stand your ground law and no state income tax and go to work and stay out of debt. Get experience in your field, get a second job waiting tables, working at Walgreens, bagging groceries, Home Depot whatever nights or weekends. Learn the tax laws. Work them to your advantage. Save, invest. Work hard while you are young. It will help you stay out of trouble and prepare you for when you are too old to work. You are right!!!!!!
DeleteMarriage can be a disaster. My husband and I are both formerly married and sometimes this place could turn into a crime scene in a hurry. Fortunately, we are both older and wiser. It has only taken 20 years. Life is complicated and my heart aches when I see one of my nieces or nephews have their hearts broken. I tell them something better is out there meant for them but sometime it is hard for me to believe. We have to teach our young men to be strong and our young women that the most important thing they can do is be a good partner, wife and mother. As older adults we must be good role models, showing what is truly important helping young people along the way. Let them know daily life can knock you to your knees and all you can do is pray and keep going.
As for my former comment it should have said stay married if you can. If you can't, get out as painlessly as possible, be in your kids life (with full custody if possible) don't grieve. Take your time. Men and women are like buses another one comes along every 20 minutes just make sure you get on the one going where you want to go.
You are so right, babies and lots of them are so important to our society. Men and women have got to have and love them, support, educate and guide and fight for them if they are separated from them. Until we start raising our kids to be responsible young men and women we can't hope to clean up this mess. I agonize over what is happening and has happened to this country and the difficulties young people like you and your son , my nieces and nephews will have to face. I am proud of you, them and the others I see who are ticked off, saying this is not right. I know Americans have faced difficulties in the past and your so called "white knights" or my "wimps" didn't overcome them. Hard working people with dirt on their faces and smelling of sweat at the end of the day did. Stay confident!!!!
