An interesting notion is that women can be sexist against other women as well, yeah - Women can promote sexism like blacks can promote racism against other blacks. Just look at slut-shaming between girls. I don't like the argument that it's men's fault myself because it's society's fault as a whole and there are many men like me that hold a positive view on gender equality, so yeah I become offended if a feminist thinks I'm ignorant on the issue because I'm a man. Using the example of rape - I dislike it when a feminist doesn't consider my point because rape is a crime that I've studied a lot in my 2nd year law school, I know all the myths and all the facts, so I'm not ignorant on the issue (and my opinions highly benefit their cause)
Using your example of being overly vocal - That depends. Do you search social networks a lot? Do you visit Rebecca Watson's channel? If not, it's not very likely you'll hear their voices often. In my country I've never been confronted by feminism like this - Most campaigns are aimed at issues like domestic violence (a problem where I live) or workplace discrimination against women in high profile careers (against pregnant women in particular)
The only allies they have is the men who are dumb enough to believe them and cater to them other than that us guys to feminists are just trash and well disposable really.
