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

Anyway, my point was to answer the OP's question about why so many atheists on Youtube seem to be anti-feminists, and the reason (as far as I can tell) is that feminism (or at least Youtube feminism) is over-run with people who peddle sensationalism rather than reason, among other offenses, and atheists (especially skeptical ones) tend to be set off by that kind of thing.
 
While that's probably true, that there are a lot of sensationalist and even straight up out-of-their-minds feminists on YouTube - it's YouTube. The exact same thing could be said about pretty much every topic, or ideology being presented on that platform - as well as many others. Especially emotionally charged topics, like feminism/anti-feminism, atheism, animal welfare etc. I don't see a reason to distance myself from, let alone hate atheism and atheists, because of a bunch of Zeitgeist-generation atheist videos and blogs, or animal welfare activism, because of lunatics, like PETA.

If we are going to use YouTube as anything other than a source of entertainment - and especially if we use it as a main source of information about ANYTHING - we are well and truly f***ed...
