A lot of the rebuke he gets is because the whole 'be a man', be 'responsible' message isn't exactly what has been promoted by the media and post secondary the last decade. Now suddenly someone is standing up and saying exactly the opposite of what they have been teaching and they can't stand it.

There is nothing wrong with women rights, equality, etc, etc.....but it is a lot like supposed white privilege these days. At some point personal responsibility and betterment is going to bring you further in life than playing the victim card and complaining that you are not as 'privileged.'
