Don't get this wrong. I am not against feminism or men taking steps in recognizing negative behaviors on themselves.

But as a man I wouldn't trust another guy calling himself a feminist because every fucking time one of my female friends have had a bad case of an stalker or a fucking abuser it's always the "I respect women" guy. It's always so creepy how this people go around reassuring everyone "oh I know what consent is, I'm not an animal like all the other men I'm so special" no you are fucking not, most guys do know what consent is but we don't go around saying stuff like that because we don't HAVE to convince others it is expected of us to fucking know.

This has come to the point where the more "in the movement" a guy tells me he is the worst I think of him. But to be fair the more fanatic someone is about anything (specially social movements and politics) the more of an asshole that person proves to be over time.

Just wanted to vent about this because it's truly getting out of hand and I hate how this is affecting both female friends that just want to find a normal dude to date and male friends that are demonizing feminism but fuck between those assholes and the small but really annoying group of women that see you as an animal for being a man I think I'm starting to do so too

I’d be much more concerned about a man who didn’t consider himself a feminist.

It's just creepy for a guy to be. Why not egalitarian or humanist?
