OK. I think I remember reading about them and the ADL being removed from the FBI website when it happened. However, I feel like their "link" to a lone nut with a gun is tenuous. I'm not familiar with either of their blogs, but I can't find any "anti-women" section or anything, although I don't doubt one exists.

I think what it boils down to is what you consider a "hate group." I don't know if i would call the Family Research Council a hate group, but they sure are close. They seem to have only one agenda, and that's defaming LGBT people and advocating for laws to actively limit the rights of these people. As for the SPLC not having an "anti-man" category, here's their mission statement or whatever:

    The Southern Poverty Law Center is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society.

I don't think I would consider men to be vulnerable members of society. I would consider women to fall into this category, though.
