AIBU?
Don't respect friend anymore

Hey all,
I have a male friend (am female), been friends for years. But over the last few months he's starting talking over me, interrupting me, being condescending towards me, but then unironically explaining about how things are the fault of the patriarchy, and he isn't part of it, but then talking about how he fancies women in his gym class, because "all men are bastards".
So basically he sounds like an idiot, and I have no respect for him anymore, but we used to be so close!
So my AIBU is, AIBU to ask AIBU to help me figure out what the hell is going on with my friend?!

Oh, he's one of those "good males" who is a strong feminist, believes women are equal blah blah blah but "wooo look at the rack on her".
Had a male friend once. He was an advocate for equal rights, gender equality etc. He visited strip clubs and has used sex workers. But it was all OK because he "respected them" and they were all consenting adults! He definitely wasn't sexist.... As long as women stayed in the kitchen!
He's no longer a friend.
