Different groups of feminism doesn't define feminism just as different groups of atheism doesn't define atheism. There may be multiple groups of feminists and multiple groups of atheists but the only thing that the groups of atheists share in common is their non-belief in gods, and the only thing that the feminist groups share in common is that they are pro-women's rights. If a group of atheists got together who all believed that all religious people should be killed, it wouldn't make it "a different type of atheism", it doesn't represent atheism at all... it represents a bunch of people who are atheists who also have the dangerous and highly immoral belief that all religious people should be killed.
In the same way, if a bunch of feminists got together who all believed that all men should be killed, it doesn't make it a "different type of feminism", it doesn't represent feminism at all... it represents a bunch of people who are all feminists who also have the dangerous and highly immoral belief that all men should be killed.
In a less extreme sense, a feminist group that was also anti-men doesn't define feminism or represent feminism itself, it represents a group of feminists who are also anti-men. Just as if a group of atheists that were also anti-theist got together they don't define atheism or represent atheism itself, they represent a group of atheists who are also anti-theist.
