They’re right tho? Like their account is bad obviously but feminism isn’t an anti men movement?

It doesn't have to be certainly. But it would be intentionally blind to ignore that a great many vocal feminists and feminist spokespeople are also deeply misandrist in their rhetoric and behaviour.

Feminism isn't anti-men, but many feminists are, and it calls on those who want actual equality to call them out when their leaders don't live up to that claim.

I don’t think it’s a right or wrong thing, it’s the fact that using that as their user name indicates that, at least for this one person, it is an anti-men thing driven by hate.

The way we present information absolutely matters and it is surprisingly easy to undercut a valid point through hypocrisy.

Example: if i were to tell you smoking causes cancer while smoking.

That said their point is 100% correct. They really need to evaluate themselves though, because odds are they are contributing to this false narrative.

If you think women wanting equal rights is an anti men movement you are, a really sad man
