Basically, we live in a whole culture of college guys pretending to be super-feminist because they hope they'll finally get laid. It's obvious, cheap, and disgusting.
Here's a hint: if you grew up in white suburbia, and have never met a black person, except that 1 friend that everyone claims, you should not bother wearing Black Panther t-shirts when you visit your favorite Starbuck's. Nobody cares.
It's called virtue signalling, like people who plaster their cars with bumper stickers like "Free Tibet." For Pete's sake what can a hipster urbanite actually do to 'free Tibet'? Exactly zero. People like that think simply having the right opinion is a sign of virtue. And they want everyone to know what a good person they are because they care, they really really care. It makes them feel good about themselves, without doing a lick, and that's all that actually matters to them.
