Why are feminists so irritating sometimes.

I especially love the comments, such as the one:
After a commenter says that the relationship is not as bad as the writer of the article says, you get this lovely response...
"honey, it's simple literary criticism. you're skimming the surface and just soaking up/feeding into what stephenie meyer wanted for you to."
First off, I hate the use of honey is a condescending way. It just bothers me.
Second, does anyone else find it the least bit hypocritical that the responder is accusing the original commenter of "just soaking up/feeding into" what someone else says on a feminist review of a book? I wonder if the second commenter actually read the book or was she just "soaking up/feeding into" what the article's author wanted her to.
I love how...
If a man is being aggressive, it's sexist.
If a woman is being aggressive, she's asserting herself.
If a woman is being meek or a housewife, she's been indoctrinated and oppressed.
If a man is being meek or a house-husband, he's spineless and a wimp.
