Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

Are we talking about feminism, a doctrine, belief or movement relating to women, or are we talking about Feminism™, the PC dogma established by your favorite Hollywood actors?

I think I'll have to bow out of this thread now, because I can answer the OP question right here and now, and from my own personal experience. It has been my attempt to use the most inclusive definitions of feminism, and my hope eventually to figure out what specific flavors of feminism cause many atheists (remember the OP?) to be "anti-feminist." However, in engaging with an actual self-declared feminist (i.e. you), I've come across a flavor of feminism that embodies all the qualities that make religion a turn-off: insistence on defining the question in your own terms, appeals to authority and anecdotal evidence to establish a party-line, and the willingness to cite sources that provide "support" even when that support is of a poor quality. I'm not anti-you, because I don't know you. However, I have to say that to the degree that your beliefs and method of communicating those beliefs represent Feminism™, I'd have to declare as anti-feminist in this context.

I'm only one person, but at least we now have one answer to the OP.
