On the Internet, women are treated like shit.
This is a fact of our current existence, and if you refuse to accept it, leave the thread now.
All over the internet, the general attitude towards women has always been demeaning, condescending, and fueled by sexism. Most of this treatment comes from immature children (of all ages.) who demand TITS OR GTFO, Men who immidiately disregard women, as soon as it is found they are women, similar to the old tradition of treating any woman with issues as being "Hysterical", and blatant sexists, who insist on perpetrating old illusions of gender roles.
All of these people are generally hated across the internet, and most people would never side with them on this issue. In Fact, some people appearently hate them so much, that they will leap into battle, armor-clad, to save the beautiful princess in distress.
These are the worst sexists of them all.
White Knight Syndrome
n. A personality characteristic found in most males that lead them to:
1. rush to the aid of any female they see who appears in any form of distress.
2. Become attracted to said damsel in distress.
3. Follow the dying code of chivalry and generally act like a nice guy.
Also called young man's disease.
You might ask, Montezuma's Lawyer, how can these people be bad? They rush to defend someone being discriminated against!
Simple, my young Tadpole. You see, It is an often forgotten fact that Women are Human Beings, and are to be treated as such. A woman being picked on, on the internet, is not a poor dog caught in a bear trap; But rather, should be seen exactly as if a man were being treated the same way.
Dont misunderstand the last sentence, I do not mean that women should be treated the same as men, but that ALL PEOPLE shall be treated equally, regardless of accidents of birth.
By rushing to the defense of someone on the internet, and fighting their battles for them, you deprive them of their humanity, you take away their ability to defend themselves, and instead force your own opinions into the situations, often either blowing the entire situation out of proportion, or making it worse through vehemently defending minor points.
Wall of text, getting big, time to wrap up.
Women are Human Beings, capable of defending themselves. Do not take their right to self defense away, by doing it for them. Chivalry is dying for a reason, in a world where women are gaining more rights, as they deserve, chivalry has no place; Women should be treated equal to men in all aspects of society, Including when being picked on.
TLDR: Do not defend someone because they are a woman, defend someone because they are a person.
