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.

It's pernicious. I do not know if it's possible for male feminist nerds to escape this without losing feminism (as an ideology).

I think it's possible, it's just fucking hard work because it requires you to: 1. Adopt an ideology that integrates feminism into a proper understanding of the male experience. 2. Get good at working with your emotions and dealing with clashes between explicit belief and feeling

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.
