protectors

Of course, this is a very old narrative that goes back to the early days of colonial America, when white male European settlers were the protectors of white womanhood against the dangerous Native American “savages.”

It was men — these “protectors of women” — who later wrested control of women’s health and reproduction from women themselves.

At 3:40 p.m., the four motorcyclists head to their truck to claim their bikes and don chest protectors, heavy-duty knee-high boots, knee pads and bedazzled helmets.

The insults didn't just prove that the self-appointed protectors of "family values" wouldn't know a loving family if they saw one.

A militarized police crackdown followed and hundreds of "water protectors" were arrested.
