Yes, but in a sense they are "justified": the problem is the underlying belief that feminists=nazis, not (necessarily) the actions they take from there.

However, most of the people I've met who post stuff like that fit into two camps:
1) Trolls pretending they are interested in reasonable debate, and acting all aggrieved that feminists etc are so "narrow minded"
2) People genuinely interested in trying to understand the feminist or whatever point of view but lack the insight to realise they're asking in the wrong place in the wrong way

Thus my post can be used in two ways: To point out the flaw in group (1)'s argument, and to explain to group (2) where they're going wrong.

I have myself been in group (2) on a number of occasions, which in part inspired me to write this to get it straight in my head.
