Your brother is a sinner, no doubt. There is, of course, truth to feminine discourse. There are violent men. There are rapists. There are men who cheat and commit adultery. That men sin should be of no revelation to a Christian.
In my opinion, however, if one takes a Christian point-of-view, adopting feminism is more sinful than any of the above. Why? Because it violates the most important commandment of them all - you will have no other gods other than God Himself. Embarrassingly, I called myself a feminist once, and looking back at that time, I can see what it did to me. It turned me into someone who worshipped women. Who believed that anything a woman said was truth, and that the way forward for society was to obey women even more than I already did. I put it to you then, was I not violating the first commandment? In my mind, yes I was. I had made women, or perhaps feminism, my god, and I was committing a most egregious violation of the commandments.
I will make a further point in addition to this, and that is that it is not only feminists that worship women. In fact, it is almost the de facto religion of Western societies. Both "traditionalists" and "progressives" worship women, but in different ways. "Traditionalists" claim that it is men's main and only role to provide for and protect women. Perhaps ultimately to "build society" or some such excuse. Even if that claim has merit, it is still sinful as it is, once again, violating that first commandment. The role of men is to follow God, and that must be the focus, not "providing for women" or "building society".
You might despair. But then, if I don't have a wife and children, how will my society continue? Leave that to God. Make it your goal to be follow God as truly as you can, that should be your focus as a man, for good will flow on from there. After all, for everything else, unlike God, we are not omniscient, and we should not be trying to overthink what may happen in the future if we do this or that. Have faith that it will be, for God is on your side.
