White Male Feminist Depressed That Social Justice Activists Have Broken Him

I think we'll see more of these male feminists breaking down.
I don't know about you guys, but I've been keeping a pulse on what's exactly going on in online feminism and they've been pretty ruthless when it comes to scrutinizing male allies in the last few months. I've seen series of articles and tweets brow beating male feminists about how to be a "good ally" which pretty comes down to "shut up and listen" (actual quote I've seen several of these feminists use).
These guys are gluttons for abuse but I can't really see this going on much long without much push back.
There's a blatant hatred for pretty much all things "cis" male (that was painful to type) in that culture. Guys that aren't full-blown male feminists but are sympathetic or at least willing to listen to the opposing side's arguments if they aren't delivered in poisonous screeds get attacked for "tone policing" and those who ask for more information get rebuffed for not doing more of their own research.
If even the useful idiot male feminists are starting to declare that they won't take anymore of this treatment, how are regular guys going to react to the constant hostility being shown to them when they are indicating that they are willing to listen to the other side?
