I'm not even demonizing feminists. I've made it quite clear that I'm talking about my experience with vocal feminists (I admit I probably know a bunch of reasonable ones who just don't talk about it). That experience has been largely negative and unreasonable. As for this comparison with right-wing British gobbledygook, I'm not British. Moreover, my feelings about the MRA movement are largely the same as I have about feminism. There are better positions to have.
Even if it is what you think you experience I'd be very surprised if a a huge chunk of it wasn't pre-learned from the bias in outside sources.
The backlash against feminism has been going very strong for the last forty years and more, and to call it vitriolic is to grossly undersell its bile.
Backlash is a good way to describe it. The quote in my signature is by a feminist writer who wrote a book called "Backlash - The Undeclared War Against Women". I did a paper in college about her book and that was in the mid 1990s.
