He went on to say, "I realise that the majority of feminists aren't like that, but still I have a bad association with the feminist movement because of it," which is pretty much what I said.

No, it's not "pretty much what you said". Reading comprehension goes a long way bud. He said that he acknowledges the fact that most feminists aren't like that, but his gut response to it is a negative one. He certainly isn't stereotyping all feminsts, which would be if he did say "all/most feminists are like this", which is the opposite of what he did say.
Uh..and not to mention, that was like the fourth or so post of the entire thread. Not much of a catch-up.
What's the difference between "gut response to it (all feminist) is negative" and "treating all feminists like that" regardless of whether he superficially "acknowledges" whether most feminists are like that?
Any difference would seem all the more nonexistent when he chose a title says "why am I so passionate about speaking out against feminism" without any sort of qualification of whose version of feminism?
