A stated vs. revealed preferences problem plagues some brands of modern-day feminism. An example: criticizing traditional gender roles while showing admiration for men who display certain qualities associated with traditional gender roles (e.g., women love "strong men" trope) and dismissing those w/o said qualities.

Can't think of any atm. But if you look, the signs are usually there. A good example is that nearly every romantic novel features the aforementioned trope in *some* form. It plays out IRL too where people talk about "nice guys don't get laid" and whatnot. (Ironic that some nice guys may identify as "feminist" too).

Yep. That's an example of the stereotypical "classic man". It's a good ideal to aspire to (as a guy), don't get me wrong. It's just ironic that people cherry-pick which parts of the traditional gender structure they like.
