There's a particularly unpleasant experience that it seems like most people who are (cis?) male feminist nerds have at least some of, which is that they've internalised the idea that their being attracted to women is in some sense morally bad.

What comes out the other side in that situation ceases to be feminism. Well, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it's a sort of post-feminism, actually. It is not Equal to expect short people to play basketball, or something.

I'm not sure. I think "feminism" is a broad enough label that this sort of yes-and to it can still reasonably be called feminist.

You can't adopt an ideology that integrates (liberal) feminism into a proper uderstanding of the male experience if (liberal) feminism fundamentally misunderstands the male experience to begin with

I think you can. It requires discarding some of the wrong bits, but integrating the experiences of men into a feminism largely just requires taking feminist principles of seriously and applying them uniformly. This isn't always popular, but I think it's good.

Possible number 3 suggestion: Drop the self identification component of an ideology that isn't centered around your experience. You don't have to be A FEMINIST to be feminist.
