I can say from personal experience, rhetoric like this about men will spread like wildfire among all the wrong people. Those ""anti-sjw"" types will hold things like this up as emblematic of feminism as a whole, and impressionable young men who don't know any better will believe them. Barely concealed contempt for heterosexual men isn't exactly winning hearts and minds.
I also can't help but notice the similarities these jabs at men share with a bunch of conservative talking points: "heterosexual men don't help out enough around the house and should grow up" fits right in with "fat people should just diet and exercise" and "poor people should just go to college and learn to code". Villifying a demographic by interpreting a structural problem as simply a million individual failures doesn't leave you with a ton of options for solutions, other than "they all need to be better people."
