Weird subgroup of men who claim to be feminist but aren't?

I wanna start this by saying I don't hate men in general and I believe in men that are feminist. and also my english is not the greatest so bare with me please

However over the past few years of dating and general living I noticed a sub group of men who claim to be feminist. But ultimatly just aren't. They do it so well that at first its barely noticable. I don't know if they do it on purpose, but over the course of talking to these men it becomes clear that they only stand behind feminism to gain some sort of social status or power. When asked about feminist standpoints it's either a very neutral or generic answer or a very over the top answer to the point were they want everyone in the room to know how much of a 'feminist' they are. But when they are in a conversation one on one the gimmic usually doesn't last long.

I don't know if they do it on purpose or not or if they even have evil intentions behind it. I personally don't think so. I think in some crazy way they subconsciously think it will gain them something. I also think it has to do with the fact that feminism has become more recognised in the media these last few years (as it should).

I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed these men and the 'fake' feminism standpoints

Long story short: I think there is a subgroup of men who claim to be feminist but only do it to gain social status with it and not actually care about what feminism stands for.
