Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

[Edwardo Piet]

Feminism at its core is merely egalitarianism and is no more anti-men than it is anti-women or anti anything else. It is woman-focused because of the long history of misogyny, sexism, general mistreatment and patriarchal bullshit that women have had to deal with especially so in the past, but still to this day. If it had been the other way around and men had been the more oppressed sex throughout history then we'd probably have a masculinist movement and some people would be saying it was anti-women even if it were only a minority of that movement that was.

Feminism is no more anti-men than standing up for the rights of racial minorities is anti-white, or standing up for the rights of LGBT is anti-hetrerosexual.

I'm absolutely a feminist, a masculinist and an egalitarian and the one thing I am anti is anti-bigotry. And that's just another reason why the abrahamic religons in particular suck ass, they're full of bigotry. But bigotry is by no means exclusive to religion and if there was one thing I am anti it is indeed anti-bigotry. I mean I'm anti-dogma and anti-pseudoscience but those are more things that just lead to bigotry. I am pro-reason and pro-science and one of the greatest things about science and reason is that they basically BFG blast the fuck out of bigotry.
