My experience is that some liberal men and more conservative men both have a problem with liberal women.
Liberal men who have gone through divorce or are insecure have a problem with liberal women whenever the topic of feminism comes up, because they see it as a male vs female thing and take up their own side. Other than that however, no, liberal men do not have a problem with women. Just look at the success of Rachel Maddow, arguably the most popular liberal television personality. They'll go after women like Bachmann though because they're polarizing.
Conservative men have a problem with liberal women because they think all women should be conservative. Part of conservatism is the 'proper place of women' and liberalism is definitely not it. This is why, you'll generally see conservative men fret and fuss more about women and their political leanings. So they looove their conservative women, Palin, Bachmann, etc. because in their minds these are the 'correct' women. But they're only correct if they're also hot and fit on a calendar.
