Man-hating feminist friends

My closest university friend group is wery woke and feminist and sometimes it just gets tiring when they always find some problems with basically anything any man does (excluding me). Sometimes it just feels like they are not critiquing misogyny anymore but everything masculine. Once they said this when talking about this group of men who study the same major as us:

"Why are they always so stupid?"

"Because they are men!"

And I was just sitting next to them stunned because it feels like either they don't see me as a man or they hate me lol.

I would like to become closer friends with more men but it's hard when the people you are friends with don't want to hang out with men and I feel like they would cancel me or something if I started hanging out with that group of men we study with.

I have found myself growing resentment towards them because of this. It almost feels like the way they talk is pushing me away from feminism towards misogyny. I'm not surprised how young men easily fall down the incel pipeline when feminist spaces treat them like this.

But I'm NOT saying that feminism is bad or all feminists are like this. I do still consider myself a feminist. I have just noticed this growing trend of misandry among feminists which is just basically "boys will be boys" worded differently and we all know that doesn't do any good to anyone.

Edit: Some of you seem to have understood this a bit wrong. I'm not saying that I have started being misogynistic because of this. I'm just saying that this could easily be the first step down a pipeline for someone if you are not careful. English is not my first language so sorry if I worded it wrong
