I think the feminazi vision may be anglo-saxon centered - I have never encountered cases of those women in my country.

Quite honestly, with so many women describing themselves as feminists I don't want to draw conclusions (my girlfriend is a feminist and she thinks nuking Islam out of existence is a good choice - Literally) - What troubles me here is not feminists or feminism but the fact there are atheists and secularists trying to censor free speech.

I'm sure you're right about that, it does tend to be a bunch of women with first-world problems who think they're special little snowflakes.  I've also noticed that these people really want to bring everything they believe under a single umbrella.  You have feminists who think that fighting racism is now feminist.  It's not.  Feminism has a meaning and pretending it now refers to everything that they do is absurd.  Those idiots in Atheism+ did the same thing, declaring things that had nothing whatsoever to do with atheism, now part of atheism.  It's absurd.  I also take your point about people trying to censor in the name of "safe spaces", of course they don't want anyone to stop what they have to say, but if they disagree with you, there will be hell to pay.

The sad thing is that a lot of self-professed liberal feminists seem to think that criticizing Islam at all is somehow racist, even though Islam is a religion, not a race.  These people aren't too bright.

There are certainly rabid man haters in the feminist movement.

Just as there are rabid woman haters in the mens' rights movement.

In both cases, "some" isn't representative of the majority.

True, but when it comes to the radical end of the feminist tree, man-haters are very strongly over-represented and those are the people who are the most vocal and getting all of the media attention.  Just like in religion, the fundamentalists might not be important numerically but they are the craziest of the bunch and the ones to really be worried about.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
