Considering how often and violent prominent feminist authors have been disagreeing for decades about what will or won't advance the broader feminist cause, pretty much everyone feels some sections of feminism are "weird and scary" to them.
This is a big reason I'm not a fan of the magic win-a-debate cheat codes of casually throwing things like "sexism" around, because talk to feminist A and they will tell you "X is sexist! You are sexist!" and then you change your view or behaviour to be the opposite of X and you'll get scolded by feminist B for holding the opposite view!
Pornography is a classic example; to some feminists it's inherently sexist, to others liberating. The sex-positive view is more popular, but hardly the only view out there. Outside of some core issues, there is quite little agreement and consensus. Not surprising people – especially men – have started shrug and stop caring. This, of course, is also sexist according to some.
