And here I am.. thinking that being a man was all about rash driving and drunken brawls.
I feel a bit silly now.0 -
This isn't really something to make light of, boys. India has a serious rape culture....did you all just not hear about the girl who was gang raped for hours and died? Not to mention countless other rapes that aren't reported in the media.

Thank you for posting.
You have missed the point.
OP is stirring the pot with this post, hence why our posts are irrelevant.
Trust me, I don't downplay evil against fellow human beings.0 -

No pot stirring here. Just thought it was a beautifully written piece and a good reminder for all.0 -

I just had the "do you want to be a real man or a punk" conversation with a kid at school- I think this sort of aligns. Do you want to hassle girls about the size of their boobs, their acne, or their intelligence to make yourself feel like you're worth something, or do you want to be an awesome human being (ie a real man) and be supportive and cool?0

I would like to say that I concur with this statement. That is all. Carry on.0 -
This is clearly written by a women or a dude desperately trying to get laid.0

I love women very much so each and every one of you but this to me screams written by a white knight.0

Agreed. Whoever wrote this was trying WK some girl. Probably got him a lot of "ahhh.. so true", but definitely didn't get him laid.
White knights gonna white knight.0 -

This post makes a lot of sense in the Indian context, probably not so much in a Western World context.
For us, I guess I would change it to: "If you do not respect another human, then you're only half human yourself". I care about my fellow men too after all...0 -
I'm not sure if there is a "rape culture", but I understand that women are second class citizens in some parts of India (which leads to all sorts of abuse). The part in Hindi would apparently mean: "Do you have any idea whose son I am?".
Maybe I did word it wrong, I did mean more like what you said. Women are second-class citizens so it leads men to be disrespectful towards women, which can perpetuate the idea that it is okay to rape women.0 -

I'm with you Flim. I try and treat everyone with respect until they give me a reason to do otherwise.0 -
someone should form the anti rape squad. they could put decoys on dark corners and wait for the perp and when he makes his move then they could get medieval on them.
or just have the decoy be a trained mma fighter like Gina Carano...but that would be a surprise!0 -

And another.... I'm with Flim on this one.0 -
I'm just curious how this "screams white knight"? Being respectful of the opposite sex means you're kissing *kitten* or trying to get laid?
Yeah, I agree that you should respect everyone regardless of gender.
But I'm still confused about that first part. (not being sarcastic)0 -

White Knighting is essentially saying what "men thinks" a woman wants to hear in order to get sex.
However it comes off as really pathetic and illegitimate.
It would be like if you spilled coffee somewhere, and then I made a big stink and wiped up the mess with my shirt, and tried to make a big ordeal about me "saving" the fair maiden from her "coffee disaster". (When in reality i dont give a **** I am just trying to impress you)
That is a terrible example, but anything along those lines. Just something that comes off as very try hard and pathetic.
Edit: To clarify, in India the "saying" probably is more appropriate. Here in America if someone wrote that, it would just make me facepalm.0 -

I understand what "White Knighting" is. I guess I just don't understand how that term applies to the saying posted.0 -
