Toxic masculinity is a global phenomenon, but nowhere is it more virulent than in this hypermodern, connected society. What can other countries learn from this ‘ground zero’ of misogyny?

Yeah, “white knight” is usually a dead giveaway.
How so? Especially since the term has been in common use since the 17th century. That’s a good 400+ years, now.
I can’t tell if this is bad faith or hopelessly misguided. The historical use of “white knight” (a folkloric or literary trope) has nothing to do with the usage you used here.
People who use it as you used it, in my experience, usually have a “manospheric” pespective on gender interactions, with an assumption of combatitive, winners and losers based behaviour from both sides.
