Equality, of course, being the realisation that one human being stands beside another an equal and looks onto them on the same level, regardless of gender, interests, sexuality, race or any of the other prejudices that people so blindly and primitively cling to just to boost their own pride in being under the delusion that they, somehow, are superior to another of the same genus.
'White knighting' is a stupid term, quite frankly. It implies that selflessness is something to be looked down upon. It's not. For someone to openly go against their stereotypical image, for someone to break free from the bonds of social pressure, and for someone to put their own reputation with their peers on the line in order to defend another human being's rights to equality, takes far more balls than any of you cowards hiding behind your shields of low self-esteem and peer reputation.
Quite honestly, if you stand against inequality, then I'm surprised you have the balls to show yourself in a thread claiming people are 'white knighting.'
