This is a weird argument, I think. There are assholes in every group, and they always tend to be the loudest. Judging the validity of a movement's goals by its loudest, most dogmatic people does no one any good. There are certainly asshole feminists (my favorite is Andrea Dworkin), but it's also true that many young women new to feminism get caught up in it in an unhealthy way before they age and mellow a little- they're not assholes, they're just young and learning. The same probably goes for men's issues groups- there are loud angry misogynists who drown out the voices of men who have reasonable things to discuss- like the plight of boys in early education, or the woeful lack of birth control options that men can control.
The sexes are NOT created equal biologically; it's up to us to weigh issues of inequity and determine whether we can bring them closer in line with each other, or not. For instance, men cannot bear children. That is a biological inequity. If a man marries a woman who does not want children, even if he desperately wants them, he can't have them (at least with her). That is a biological inequity. It's not something we can make equal, because the way to solve for men is to enslave women and force them to bear children.
The job of reasonable people, again, is to identify genuine issues that CAN be redressed without treading on others' rights. This will not always be possible.
