I'm not at the Solanas/Firestone end of the scale but I do get angry when women are objectified and the argument to support it is 'oh it's ok, we're being ironic - isn't sexism awful really'.
Don't even get me started on Nuts/Zoo/FHM.

I know exactly what you mea-HOLY SHIT, BOOBIES!
But yeah, it's bloody annoying, no? Oh well, we can just get together and go burn their embassy or some such.

It is that kind of feminist clap-trap that has been the cause of the most damage to the feminist movement in modern times.
The simple fact is, men like to look at lovely ladies - not because we think its cool, or because we read about it in one of the crappy publications you mentioned, but because its natural to us - whether you like it or not.
Basically, trying to ostracise men for being men doesn't work and only serves, to some degree, to alienate us from the otherwise undoubtedly worthy causes of feminism.
