benign sexism of conservative men

Excuse me wat? "Benign"? Are you for real?

Sorry, I should have put that in quotes. I meant "benign" sexism like chivalry and white knighting. It's bad, but still better than being under attack.

Right, because conservative men's problem is just that they treat women too nicely 🙄

I'm not sure why, but you seem to be deliberately misinterpreting my words.

I'm no fan of conservative men, let me be clear. I just think it's less terrible to be subjected to white knighting than it is to be subjected to rape and death threats.

Except that's what conservative men do all the time?

I meant in the context of the Super Straight sub on Reddit. They were not threatening to rape or kill lesbians for not having sex with males.
