"has lost feminism a lot of formerly diehard support."

Among what, fairweather "friends"? People interested in equality don't throw a fit when their privilege(s) are questioned.

I rest my case.

You do realize that, without reaching out to me, and other fair minded, humanitarian and inclusionary men, you will never succeed, right?

I'm saying that some persons are more interested in seeming and sounding fair-minded than they are actually looking within. It's far easier to call yourself a "former ally", claim to have "tried", and shrug off any introspection.

If you care, offer up a bit more than tone trolling. If you're actually for equality, you don't just give up that worldview because someone on the internet was curt to you.

They also don't throw a fit when the concept of privilege is questioned, but that tends to get lost in the background noise too.
