That's a good point. Though many conservative politicians in my country have had run ins with feminism and feminist ideals without any harm to their career. It really depends, like it'd be easy to find a feminist opinion piece slandering basically every UK politician that gets to a high enough office that isn't a mouthpiece for them.
With Scottish independence, the UK leaving Europe, the voters shift to the right wing in England, and the current rise of men's issues in the west we are experiencing just now, it's an interesting time to take a different direction. It doesn't take much to set of the Twitter social justice warriors and fem blogs, even Obama got torn into for saying a girl was good looking.
I see your point though, those goals could be at odds.
