You can be a self-identified feminist and also be critical of radical feminism. They're not contradictory, in fact you could even argue that the screaming radical feminism is bad for the advancement of women if it pushes generally sympathetic people away (something that I think is responsible for Trump btw, like I said in another thread).
I find the claims that women and minorities are equal to white men a stretch though. Yes we're past the days of high discrimination, slavery, women barred from voting and working, segregation etc. That doesn't mean there isn't a legacy of these things that continues with relatively more subtle manifestations into today.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
