That isn't a feminist thing-- feminism is about female rights -it's a genderless way of generalizing and avoiding any real thought. The example in question is one of a type of statement that is not limited to feminists, like "all foriegners are stupid", or "all blonds are stupid".

Some feminists may think men are morons, but some people who are not feminists may also think men are morons. Some men who have no respect for _people_ may think that men (and women) are morons.
