I wish authors of these sorts of pieces would focus more on the following two questions:
1. What do you want me to do?
2. What's in it for me?
Paint a picture of your ideal gender politics, and let me know why I'd like it better than the one we've got now. You might get further than you are just by attempting to convince me that people I like are "misogynists".
I used to think this and it's not true. The takeaway is to when you interact with people think about what your interaction is doing to the other person, on many levels.
Feeling bad is A) crappy and B) not productive.
Whatever you do when you read an article like this is you shouldn't feel bad about being male, and you shouldn't feel bad about the fact that you are a privileged class. You should recognize the ways that privilege can cause the people around you to be uncomfortable and then avoid doing those things. There isn't a list of actions you can take, other then treat everybody in a way that makes them feel welcome. Nobody wants to be leered at in a technical setting, nobody wants to be groped in a classroom (true story), and everybody wants to be treated like they are your peer.
