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

It's not as if its creators were saying only black lives matter, they were saying black lives "also" matter (in a country where black lives have traditionally mattered "less" than white lives). Same with feminism. I've had the pleasure of working with many feminists, and by far the majority view in the circles I've encountered is a very robust view of freedom. In other words, freedom for everyone, "including" women (get it)? This hostility towards feminism is reactionary (at best). 

But *ALL* lives matter, but the second anyone points that out, the feminists scream racism.  It isn't just black lives that matter, it isn't just female lives that matter, it isn't just gay lives that matter, it's ALL lives.  Most people are on board with egalitarianism, it's just the online vocal feminists who are screaming and whining at anyone who doesn't put *THEIR* lives at the top of the pile.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
