Why the hell not? Eveyone else is talking about it.
As I see it, there are 3 important categories of WAF. I'm sure there's some overlap, and a few that don't neatly fit into a category, but I'll deliniate them anyway.
#1. Tradcon women who are fine with getting back to the kitchen, as long as there's a man to bust his ass to provide for her. These I dislike the most, because I'm sure there's lots of guys who will take them up on that offer without doing a cost/benefit analysis.
#2. Me-too's. Women who see an opportunity to post a selfie and get some attention. Mostly harmless.
#3. Honey Badgers. My favorite. Women who know terms like 'gynocentric', 'hypergamy', 'misandry' who have done their homework on feminism and have read stuff like The Myth of Male Power, and The Manipulated Man. I fear this category is not nearly large enough.
Watch WAF with caution.

Building the future.
I hate having to preface a post with disclaimers like "This is my opinion", etc, so I'm going to do it this once, and hopefully I won't have to do it again.
Typhon Blue made a most excellent statement in one of the Honey Badger podcasts. drrandomercam then put it to video, and I'm going to link to that.
And I pretty much agree. Women, in the vast majority, control the raising of children. That means legions of white knights in training, identifying with their single mothers, vulnerable to anti-male propoganda. Compared to that, the men's movement is a trickle.
So, that's what women can do. What can men do? We're mostly doing it. By creating an alternate space where people can speak without being censured by social forces. The creation of those spaces, and participation in them, is a place where a man can say "That cunt was one fucked up bitch!" and not immediatley be dismissed as a "misogynist", or speaking about the usual issues like genital mutilation or divorce courts and not have someone femsplain to us why women's issues are more important.
What's amusing is when one looks at how the progressive types turn on each other without an enemy present. I've seen it in the online communities that I have participated in. Often it turns into an outrage contest, and they turn on those who don't express the proper amount. Mundane Matt covered it pretty well.
Make those alternate spaces. Participate in them.The goal is not to infiltrate the mainstream, or to convert them, but to create an alternate space, and people will judge that alternative by their participation in it. And if the "misogyny" offends them, too fucking bad. They can always go to Jezebel or Good Men Project.
