It's not pedantic to point out that this particular brand of feminism that has grown off of what feminism was breaks with the ideals. That at this point it might just be better to run with "egalitarian" than "feminist" because of the increasingly negative connotation thanks to those taking feminism in directions it was never meant for. It helps that egalitarianism covers a wider range than what feminism does.
He doesn't point anything like that out though, instead he says "being a feminist is a problem, isn't it?" and "feminism corrupts everything it touches". He seems completely convinced of this idea that these lunatics represent what feminism today is, but there's still a huge difference the tumblr "activist" and what the real world considers a normal feminist.

Seriously all these people that use dumb phrases like patriarchy, mansplaining, cis, SJWs, feminazis etc. just need to get away from the internet more, cause that shame is clearly corrupting their perception of what feminism is for most people that identify as feminist.
