Here's the thing: atheists, in general, are resistant to dogma. They are resistant to ideas imposed on them, even by a "right-thinking" majority.
I don't think anti-feminism is against females. It's against the impositions of an -ism, and the unbearable rhetoric, hypocrisy and implicit expectations of unconditional compliance. If someone tells me, "You must, always and under penalty of social stigma if you refuse, consider 'X' to be true," the first thing I'm going to do is argue to my death that "X" is not necessarily true. I'll call the social bluff on principal, just because-- fuck you for telling me what I am or am not allowed to think or believe.
