There is a ton of negative messaging about males coming from the left.

I would disagree. There are sure some, but I would say most comes from misrepresentation through the right or mainstream media. I gave even two examples of creators targeting young male audience in quite different ways.

if you take a young man and give him a choice between a group that treats him as the villain

Again I disagree that feminism treats man as the villain. On most fundamental level it's critique of a system not individuals to beginn with. While at the same time I give you that there are feminist groups that are fundamentally misandrist, that is not the case for the movement as a whole and I would even argue not the case for the majority of people who see themselves as feminist.
