I think it's easy for practically anyone to get militant on messageboards. Women who'd never act on such ideas in real life used to spout this sort of garbage all the time on the feminist boards I used to read, and resort to vicious personal attacks if you dared to claim they were exaggerating a bit or assigning qualities to the sexes that no gender had exclusive ownership of. Many of the big feminist boards are gone now (can't find Ms., cant find NOW). Not sure what happened. I stopped reading them because I couldn't take the vitriol.
Now there are very popular men's boards that spout the same vitriol, but in the opposite direction.
