maybe you should’ve replied to the post itself to argue that ‘men who hate women’ can’t possibly define the movement I've been doing that. Your comments specifically seemed a good place to start.

Individual people can certainly try to define a movement, but the voices of the majority of people in the movement are going to best represent what the movement actually is. Most sizable movements inevitably have some bad actors that do not represent the majority of people in the movement. If we judged every movement by its worst individuals we would never have any kind of social change at all.
