Ha! It's true, it really is the women who usually do this, moreso than the men. Most of the men who say it, do it because they heard their college gf ranting about it.
I once had a feminist tell me I was a "Kinder Kuche and Kirche" woman, that she would have no problem shooting me in the face because I was the type of woman who would put people in Nazi death camps for being feminists (no I am not paraphrasing anything here, this is what she literally said to me, and fwiw the other self-identified feminists who had previously agreed with her told her to knock it off, so at least thats something) because I *gasp* said that society and feminists should put equal value on women who choose to take a traditional role rather than dismissing that role and solely encouraging a woman to empower herself by working outside the home.
It's fucking vicious, I've never had a guy say anything remotely like that about me. I've had a few "smarter than you look" comments but they were meant in good fun.
