I think a lot of people (men and women alike, not surprisingly - we are all harmed by the patriarchy in many ways) are just really threatened by the idea that women are people and we don't all fit into the traditional roles that society is most comfortable with. They see a confident woman who knows what she wants and pushes herself to reach her fullest potential and they just start flipping out like "you're not supposed to do that! I'm not comfortable with this! Get back in the kitchen and get yourself pregnant!"
People have such bad attitudes toward feminism because it challenges their core beliefs that were essentially given to them by their own subconscious ignorance.
