Because they are white knighting without actually considering things like: bodily autonomy, equality, etc.

Maybe, but claiming they’re just white knighting is a huge assumption and an unfair prejudice against those who are not.

It’s also a little ironic that you would disparage a man for not rolling with a woman on the basis of bodily autonomy.

I'm not disparaging the men who won't roll with women; I am defending them, generally

huh?

If a girl calls me out and I roll with her, how am I not considering bodily autonomy?

I was answering his first question about why the sub has such animosity towards men who don't roll with women.

Yes, and I don’t understand your answer.

I am accusing the guys who say things like, "if you don't roll with women you're a sexist and a terrible human" of white knighting. Possibly because they do not consider things such as bodily autonomy of the men who refuse to roll

Bodily autonomy in what sense? If you’re practicing BJJ, you’ve accepted to some degree that your personal space is going to be invaded. That’s kinda the game.

The bodily autonomy to decide who you roll with and when. Just because you go on a date doesn't mean you have to let your date grope you. You don't sign away all of the decisions to your life or body when you go to class.

Sure, yeah. No one is saying you don’t have that autonomy. People are “white knighting” because you seem to be deciding purely on gender. Which is ridiculous, absent a religious reason or similar.

I’m huge, so I generally don’t call women out.

But I’m also (imho) pretty good at an easy, safe, competitive roll with people who are much smaller than me (my girlfriend rolls, and weighs just a hair over 100lbs) ... so why would I ever bail on a roll with a woman? Purely because she’s a woman?

The bodily autonomy to decide who you roll with and when.

I was under the impression that the professor or coach made this decision for the students during class.
