Sometimes, good deeds that men try to do to come off as a “white knight” are really not “kind” at all. Some behaviors can come off as creepy or condescending. Reddit user u/ParamedicExotic2510 took to Reddit to ask women which “white knight behaviors” make them feel super uncomfortable.
- "When people try to put words in my mouth, like, 'what I think she meant was...' No, no, no. I said what I said, all questions can be directed to me."
- "When someone interrupts or stops telling a story to apologize for the profanities being used in front of me."
- "When they try to mansplain to me about how to do my job."
- "Speaking on my behalf because I didn't answer right away. Like, I don't care if you've known me my whole life, you don't, under any circumstances, speak for me. I have a voice."
- "Kissing my hand when first meeting me. Please, no."
- "Men I don't know calling me 'honey,' 'sweetheart,' or any variation of that. It happens less now that I'm older, thank god."
- "Taking tools away from me while I'm using them because they are 'thinking of my safety.' Like, no, it's not safe to try and take my axe out of my hands mid-swing."
- "Men I don’t know being 'gentlemanly' and letting me walk up the stairs in front of them when I’m wearing a short skirt or shorts. This usually happens with repairmen in my house."
