Scenario A:

Man: "Women should have equal pay for equal work!"
Woman:"We already do for the most part. Stop white knighting for us."

Scenario B:
Joe: "Wow, Susan, you're such a bitch, lol."
Jeff: "Take that back, Joe! Susan is a wonderful person."
Susan: "God, Jeff, he was just joking. Stop white knighting for me."
