People have been saying a lot of the same shit ("gone too far", "whining about nothing") about feminism since the Suffrage movement. Have you seen some of those anti-Suffragette cartoons? Not that different from the stereotypes that people have about feminists now.

Its not q criticism of feminism as such. More that any social movement will have certain people doing it a disfavor, without it being a argument against the social movement.

I think that too many people are selectively focusing on the kind of social media feminism that they think they can easily dunk on instead of actually engeging with it. I think some men become reflexively offended when they're told they have something to work on within themselves instead of actually examining whether it's true.
