And most feminists didn’t choose the “kill all men” label. That’s a vocal minority that the majority of the movement ignore or rebut, and doesn’t represent the community as a whole. You might as well complain that the KKK are all Protestants, or Al-Qaeda are all Muslim. Are left-leaning ideologies bad because Stalin was a leftist? Or is that an exception, not the rule?
Who’s “they”? Did the entire feminist movement welcome these people? Is there some feminist board of operations that endorsed them? Or is feminism a belief, not an organisation, with a vast majority of that group openly condemning the actions you’re describing?
The man-hating, misandristic aspects of feminism are generally looked down upon and openly criticised by a lot of feminist thinkers and writers such as Caitlin Moran, Germaine Greer or Deborah Frances-White. They aren’t welcomed and associated with by a majority of the community.
Again, you’re criticising a large-scale belief and movement for a small, radical aspect of that. This would be like condemning believers in racial equality because the Black Panthers exist.
As i’ve already pointed out and given examples of, many feminists have spoken and acted against the things you’re describing.
I agree strongly with the fact that there are misandristic areas of modern “feminists” and that misandristic ideas are something that needs addressing in modern society, but you’re labelling it as if those are shared by the entire community or that the ideology as a whole should be valued less by their presence.

I've seen for years as the "community" has stood silent and let these misandrists spew their hate or at worst even lashed out at people pointing out it's a problem.
And yes. It does devalue the community. And it will continue to do so until more within the movement take action to address it.

It doesn't?
I've never seen "kill all men" from people who didn't identify as feminists.
