Well to respond to the op I'll state it like thus. I am both in one context a feminist and in another an anti-feminist. The reason for that is because I am someone who believes in freedom and equal rights for everyone, and I feel that if any rights movement wants to gain headway they must be inclusive and not exclusive. Thus my reason for being anti feminist. Now most feminists who you meet in real life have views fairly on par with mine once you get past the labels. The reason I am anti-feminist is because I feel the silent majority here has been infiltrated by extremists, who if they used any other label would be called out much quicker. And when you do call out extremists like Anita sarkeesian they hide behind this label of "feminism is about equal rights" and when you look at their rhetoric this isn't what they stand for at all. Instead what they have is this very narrow veiw on what is acceptable and label anything outside that veiw as evil. We know from history that this kind of thinking leads to very bad societies and now that we are more powerful then ever , the consequences of a bad society is multiplied. Now you also have to notice that recently the mainstream media panders to these bullshit artists calling themselves feminists because of a fear of being labelled mysognistic. We see this with gamergate and Anita getting to speak at the UN. And as for thinderfoot, you have to remember this stuff is extremely prevalent in academia as evidenced with Dalhousie university recently implementing rules like women must be allowed to speak first at debates and a student body will not be recognised unless there are women involved.
I also want to add that I think rules like that are insulting to women, they basically say they can't compete equally unless given special rules. I think amelia earheart would take issue with that, along with the millions of examples of women besting men innall sorts of ways.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
