Feminists/the feminist movement, and more specifically it's submovements, as is really the case here (referring to neoliberal feminism) should in no circumstances be above critique for its failures, and men have as much of a right to critique as anyone else of any other gender identity. If the posting just devolves into stupidpol level complaints about everything with no real attempts to discuss the building of more egalitarian gender norms, then that is a different story.
