This one’s easy. Most of those guys pretending to be on your side, aren’t actually on your side. They “like” abortion because it means they don’t have to worry about your pregnancy - it’s your problem. They like “feminism” because it means they don’t have to share their paycheck. They’re pretending, because pretending means access to cute liberal college girls without being responsible about their own sexuality. But the whole embracing-the-transgressive, overturn-the-norms, rebuild-society thing? Not so much. Lip service to those ideals will work if it gets sex from some gullible liberal gal, but the boys certainly aren’t going to stop hating on tranny freaks for you.

Referencing the inherent transphobia in making jokes calling Ann Coulter a trans-woman, and then defending those nasty jokes by pointing out Coulter’s own transphobia. The blog itself is extremely well-written, but IMHO, this is The Best Comment I’ve ever read. Dan in Denver, you rock my socks.
