I completely disagree. Many of the #womenagainstfeminism have valid points about the flaws in modern feminism. This article at Time does an excellant job of explaining the valid points they make. It's called Stop Fem-Splaining: What 'Women Against Feminsm' Get Right.
Because I'm not quite as eloquent I will share my list of things I hate about feminism using a list of tweets as examples.
Example 1: The idea that men shouldn't have a voice.
A great example of why #womenagainstfeminism pic.twitter.com/jpWzELfJTm

Example 2: The belief that rape only happens to women and only by men.
I can't say enough about how truthful this is! pic.twitter.com/GRJxfTSRWD

Example 3: Some feminists use feminism as a means to bully others.
Another one that I can't say I entirely disagree with. Some bully men and even each other. pic.twitter.com/gW8pS9NgS9

Example 4: Many feminists are angry at men just for being men.
I actually agree with this. Judge the behavior not the gender. They aren't guilty simply because they are men. pic.twitter.com/oVAyuRDFL8

Example 5: Feminists bashing other feminists because of race or nationality.
@FeminineFem: "Your American is showing so fucking hard right now. #disgusting" But then ur gonna complain about Canadians getting shade?

Example 6: Feminists not allowing non-feminists to criticize feminism.
Spot on "@amazingatheist: Feminism: empowering women to do anything they want ... except criticize any aspect of feminism."

Example 7: Feminists having extremist attitudes or ideas they force on everyone else.
Feminists must revolutionize women along secularly atheistic lines.

Example 8: The hashtag trend #bringbackourgirls completely ignored the death of Nigerian boys

Example 9: Feminists treating unborn babies as part of their own body or property.
For the logic-impaired... #abortion #Prochoice = #prolife #WarOnWomen pic.twitter.com/9DTmqPeYrh #AbortStigma #1in3 #sexism #misogyny #feminism

Example 10: The belief that misandry isn't real.
"The reason that I like to joke about misandry is because it isn’t real." @bookbeaut #FaithFeminisms #30SOL http://t.co/nVaQjiT1KT

Example 11: Feminism sometimes implies every woman is a victim.
It's almost as if feminism minimizes the struggles of unlucky women, meanwhile making lucky women feel like victims.

Example 12: Feminists sometimes think women are better.
"Here's Why Men And Women Think Differently" because women are better. There I explained it
