Perhaps I'm equating the ultra feminist movement with liberalism, which is unfair.
I think you probably are. Equality is not a slippery slope, it's simply the idea that two people differentiated by race, sex, gender, etc. but equal in all else should have the ability to experience equal outcomes, not that they should be looked down upon for not achieving those outcomes.

The issue you're talking about isn't exclusive to women, either. Professional men often look down on "non-professional" men as well. That's more a class issue than anything else. And extreme feminism probably plays a role on a woman's side, but I doubt it's a role worth making generalizations about Liberals over.
