      Damn, hard to think that just over a decade ago, we had groups of incels who were at least convinced politeness was a viable coercion tactic. Now they think giving women any chance to feel good about themselves is losing ground.

      The top is just a relationship. I expect my wife to do all that for me too. And my kids. And my parents. And my friends.

      Except for “honor”. My understanding of honor is that it’s not something you do to a person. It’s how you act yourself. But I was raised by Klingons.

      Absolutely. There is a nonzero overlap between FOSS/decentralized software nerds and white knights/nice guys.

      Thankfully it’s not too much here, as Lemmy has done a good job at not tolerating intolerance, so the incel white knights leave, but some of the more innocent ones stick around.
