Because the accusation is false. Hatred of dudes has never been a characteristic of the feminist movement. It's a characteristic of a few feminists who one could rightly fling the accusation at. The majority mainstream of feminism has done a really good job of distancing it's self from those individuals too (even though, like most people, the loonies have had some valuable insights to contribute obviously lying outside their controversial seperatist stance.)

Very few feminists advocate segregation of sexes. The vast majority of accusations of "YOU JUST HATE MEN" are false and simply attempts to silence women being difficult, wanting things like the vote and equal job opportunity and appropriate sanitation.

Some vegetarians hate omnivores. No one makes a big deal out of them as if they're a significant, dangerous presence though because they aren't. They're just ridiculous and their conduct has no relevance to vegetarians in general hence the accusation "YOU JUST HATE OMNIVORES" sounding completely fucking ridiculous. Constantly ragging on about the supposed threat of extremists within feminism sounds particularly ridiculous because it's always directed at feminists who obviously aren't guilty of hating dudes.
