One thing I've noticed is that when I've been in debates against someone on OT and its known that they are female chances are someone always runs in trying to play the hero. It doesn't matter what I say and whether or not I have a legit point, at least 3 times someone jumped in and had to try and play knight in shining armor.
I'm not the type for verbal attacks but apparently when you're debating against a woman sometimes the damsel in distress is in need of rescue. Its more than that half the time you see girl help threads of threads asking for advice involving women, its usually the guy who is made out to be wrong and it seems like people mainly take the girls side simply because shes a female.
I guess this is what you'd call being a white knight. Once I had a disagreement because this girl was stereotyping people and 3 different people told me to leave her alone and stuff and I even got reported for "trolling" I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. It was a debate and I don't get to have an opinion?
So I ask you, does it seem like folks on OT are overly defensive of women?
