This is really good. It highlights something that I've often suspected - there are (imho somewhat misguided) men who identify as feminists because they really think that all of those horror stories that modern feminism tells are true, and who think that women collectively need allies fighting for them. There's another type of man who buys into the feminist establishment, though, like Hugo Schwyzer, who are in fact hypercompetitive with respect to other men - by championing a cause that paints all men with a degenerate brush, then pointing themselves out as the exception, they are in fact engaging in about as traditional of a behavior as possible: doing their best to outcompete other men for female attention. I think a lot of this has to do with the idea that the current prescribed gender role for men has a minimum of outlets for emotional connection and positive valuation by another party, and so when the carrot of female attention is dangled in front people like this, they're willing to do anything to get it, even mischaracterize their entire gender as monstrous and evil.
