Ah, and maybe that's what it is. Maybe they're just mad.
But even so, couching that white knight position in traditionalism and arguing women need to first be respected in order to become creatures worthy of respect -- that's at least a position. That's a position that could win a lot of people over, actually, if argued well.
This other tactic, interpreting humor as serious statements, is just BS.
I think these two things (misinterpretation of humor and the absurd idea that white women should never be criticized) come hand in hand. It's like blind idealism bordering on self destruction.
Too many people are stuck in the past and don't want to admit reality and get mad at anyone arguing their preconceived notions. (Something I often notice with SFers)
