If you're looking for an example of how men sh*t on feminism, just look at how male K-pop fans reacted to this news.
Nomi, a popular Kpop soloist, went on a Instagram live stream February 7, 2020, on there she unwrapped gifts given to her by fans and someone had gifted her a book. She shared that she felt happy and excited to read Kim Ji Young, Born 1982, which is labeled as a feminist novel.
After hearing this, male fans took to an online forum and shared that they're burning Nomi's photos and postcards. Why? Because that's what you do when your masculinity is fragile and toxic, I guess.
Fans came to the singer's defense and emphasized the level of pressure that female idols go through to please male fans. Some also pointed out that Nomi has spoken out against oppression as an Asian, female, and also being apart of the LGBTQ+ community.

Feminism seems to be a touchy topic in the K-pop world. In 2018, Apink's Naeun was criticized for "promoting feminism" with her "Girls can do anything" phone case. There's also the case of double standards where in female idols will be criticized for dating scandals, while their male counterparts will go unscathed. Some girl groups in the past were also accused of being demeaning toward other women. Good thing there are fans who educate those who don't accept feminism in their community.
As for the men who burned Nomi's photos: Pick up a book and read more, would you?
