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

Regardless of the sex of a person, I will mock them if they speak against "feminism" from a flawed definition of the word. I am a female feminist and I have spoken against feminism on many occasions on this very forum. The reason this moron was mocked (and yes s/he was mocked, not fucking attacked good lord) is because he/she defines feminism in some retarded way that makes no sense. Right yes, feminists are fat ugly dikes who hate men. Really? Most feminists are egalitarians. That there are a few feminists on the internet who take being PC way too far and only support women's rights doesn't mean that's what defines feminism.

Yes, saying "feminists want to enslave men" sounds like a conspiracy and should not be considered an argument, and there's lots of huge strawman against feminism, but there's women who genuinely had bad experiences with some mainstream branches of feminism and don't want to be a part of it for X and Y reasons. This is, of course, also true for men who have contact with the "let's castrate men" feminists.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
