How can some individuals on the one hand say they support feminism, but on the other advocate exclusively such practices as men proposing to women, men asking women out and men holding doors open for women?

Because even if we support feminism, there will always be a gentlemanly section inside a man's brain. But as well as that, there is also a hypocritical section inside a man's brain

I think that you can say that opening a door is polite behaviour rather than anti-feminist behaviour. I always appreciate when a man opens a door for me, but in the same way, I will always let a man who is older than me pass first (respecting my elders). It depends on how you view things.

The popular notion of feminism is perverted. We can only achieve equality by recognising the numerous social constructs built between women and men as, indeed, social constructs. Problems like these arise from taking differences between women and men for granted.

You say "some individuals", but you mean "women", don't you?

TRUE feminists will not expect to be treated differently than a man, and will not expect that a man should do anything that she is unwilling to do. When a so-called feminists expects the man to do anything because he's a man and she's not, that is called hypocrisy. Some so-called feminists will rant and rant about wanting equality with men until INequality becomes convenient or pleasant. When INequality is to their advantage, the hypocritical so-called feminists are eerily silent.

You really can't. That is blatant hypocrisy. Feminism is defined as the political, economic, and SOCIAL equality of the sexes. Therefore, it is INcompatible with feminism to treat a woman differently than a man simply based on her sex. So, a "so-called" feminist who expects such exposes her hypocrisy. It is called pick and choose equality.
