I felt she made it quite clear that she was taking offence to a group of people that were misusing the banner of feminism. Sure, from the outside they all look like feminists but if you look a little closer you see the massive divide in fundamental theory and in the practice of advancing women's rights.

The same things can be seen in most movements, like african-american gangs spoiling the name of the anti-discrimination movement or religious/atheist reactionaries making the more level headed individuals look bad.
