"If you're not a Feminist, you're a Sexist"

Then you are a feminist, at least as I understand the proper definition. A feminist is someone who wants equality between the genders. This may be what AronRa means. Kind of like how he says, "if you are not a theist, you are an atheist" (that there is no middle ground).

Ironically, the "feminists" you refer to are not feminists if they don't value equality between the genders. A feminist would not argue that one gender, male or female, is superior to the other or that mistreatment of either is of no concern.

Potentially, women can be sexist too and, if they are, they should be stripped of their feminist label.
