The "male feminist" shit just sounds like dogwhistling to me. The intent behind the statement is the same as "white knight", it exists to shame someone for speaking up about someone else's shitty behavior by implying the only reason a man could have for not being an asshole is to get sex out of someone. Anyone trying to shame people for being a "male feminist" has an ulterior motive and quite frankly doesn't really belong on this forum.
The reason you hear about supposedly woke people getting outed is because we fucking clean house. James Portnow isn't getting thrown under the bus because there was never any promise from his audience that they would look the other way if he got caught being a manipulative little shit. When antifeminist dudes predictably do fucked shit like this, they keep doing what they're doing because their audience doesn't care. Yeah, shitty people will use the language of feminism and the left to push awful things, we all know what TERFs are like, but you're frankly dumb if your conclusion is that men shouldn't be feminists.
