The implicit argument

Behind comments like this is, "Feminists are women who really, really want to fuck me---a conservative asshole who radiates hatred of women---but alas, I totally blew them off. So they organized and are angry." I agree with Atrios that the argument is fundamentally weird. If ugly women are organizing in protest that they aren't getting attention from men, then wouldn't their demands be for things that make men more likely to want us? But how does equal pay, reproductive rights, freedom from sexual harassment, and freedom from discrimination improve our chances of getting positive male attention?
