I think you'll find this community more than willing to have their ear bent. I thought the same thing when I started: as the new guy I'll get lost in the ocean of established members and popular ideas. But I was surprised at how welcoming and accommodating this place is to one and all.
As for me, I wouldn't call myself anti-feminism, as I agree with most of the points and I would like to see change for my daughter's future. Tumblr ruined a lot of that for me, however. When sensitivity reaches a certain point all conversation gets shut down. I walk on eggshells as it is because I don't want to needlessly offend anyone. I find that the topic of feminism has become too sensitive to get anything done. Maybe rightfully so? I think a less angry approach would open things up and allow the movement to go in the right direction. And I know there are those people; they need to become the more prominent mouthpiece.
As for the youtubers, I don't know for sure, but from what I've picked up on, something over at Atheism+ must have left a bad taste in their mouths. I know this is the case for The Armoured Skeptic and Thunderf00t. I agree with you, the extreme feminists wouldn't have as loud a voice without the atheist youtubers mentioned.
If they feel the need to comment on feminism, I wish they would at least provide an alternative way of navigating the issues. Not just bashing the extremists.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
