I'm going to have to disagree with you, and agree with those who say you should not be lumping all feminists together. As a rule, I don't go around seeking out things that inspire !rage, because rage gets in the way of happy fandom experiences, but if you've been on the internet for any amount of time, you know that the asshats don't usually keep to their own little corner about anything. If I run across insulting comments from fans, I'll just respond to things as they come up. I try not to get flamey, but it's an issue that means a lot to some so I can understand if people get worked up. And finding instances of misogynistic fan behavior is not as rare as you make it out to be.
And if someone wants to say to avoid misogynistic elements in the shows themselves, I'd have to give up anime/manga/books/tv pretty much entirely to avoid it, so that's really impractical. One of the most imporant goals of feminism is getting people to recognize as wrong things that are so damn prevalent we've all accepted them as a normal part of life. It annoys me a little when people can't see this, and accuse feminists of creating the problem by merely speaking of its existence.
Basically, YES. Misogyny is just as big of a problem in 'fandom' as it is in society. I don't really know what the hell yaoi has to do with this, so I'm leaving that out.
I'm aware I've got a rather unpopular opinion on this matter, so I hope no one is too upset by this rather tl;dr response, but I felt it needed to be said.
