It's widely believed hunter-gatherer civilizations of both the past and the present had and have no conception of "gender roles" specifically because of scarcity. Well, the modern ones, not so much, due to the fact they are surrounded and therefore forced to interact with sedentary civilizations, and inevitably assimilate into those civilizations and otherwise adopt their views.
Well, I'm not originally an American, but the problem was the same... It's just that there were less people willing to make a fuss about it, because it's Puerto Rico, and my people are somehow more jingoistic and conservative than the Tea Party movement.

Well, yes, but do you find yourself disagreeing with some feminists who are from North America or Europe, or Asia, or Australia, specifically prominent feminists about feminist issues and how their arguments are constructed (and, mind, are mainstream arguments in their regions)?
If so, you might have a different way of thinking about feminism than the mainstream population which you are actually arguing with.
I'm from El Salvador, so I've seen feminism in El Salvador and from my experiences with Mexican people, they also have a different experience with feminism than in the U.S. so how do you explain these differences?
Not ideologically, no. However, as Galloism said, there's problems with the practice, and that's because feminism is evolving constantly.
All of the examples in the OP, for example, has been an issue with me since my teenage years, about a decade ago, when I saw an episode of Law & Order: SVU and decided I needed to be pro-active when it comes to the rape of men.
Something that MRAs have zero grounding for when the MRA movement is a splinter from men's liberation whose predecessors are groups like the League of Men's Rights who wanted to stop women from getting jobs.
The Three goddamn Stooges knew better.
