Don’t get me wrong, I understand that that’s an extreme but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen either. I’m not saying I agree really with either side and “turning down the feminism” is a kinda weird thing to say to your student but I have heard multiple different times of someone who saw how much they seemed to be hated and drifted to the right as they were accepted there (even if for the wrong reasons).

I don't think it's feminism at that point. It's misandry. I know many women who don't understand the difference, but they're not the same.

And we can see plenty of men here who are told what the difference is and ignore it to pursue their grievance.

That’s true but if they are often confused even within their own circles, the type of men who would drift to the right from it are also unlikely to know the difference
