If that's what she did, then I can only say that she misrepresented feminism if what that group believes in is pretty much the same stuff that feminists (even that loud outspoken feminist) believed in.
OK firstly I don't think that website is even an actual news outlet at all, it just seems to be a blog that was writen by a clearly biased man. There was no mention of misrepresentation of feminism at all she just criticisied it. You're acting as if the feminists were justified in pulling the fire alarm because of the criticism. And anway, all that is hearsay, we don't know what was actually said in there so it's pointless arguing about it.

Helping each other? She showed clear and vicious contempt for them, she didn't want to help them, she just wanted them to be wrong and publicly shamed. You watch that video and tell me that she wants to work with them.

Oh right because there are some people out there who wouldn't find her loud and obnoxious.
Well, since we aren't working with a solid definition of 'feminazi' its pretty easy to say that. I think that based on her actions and the actions that she condoned (pulling the fire alarm) that is enough to qualify her as that.
How many atheists protest churches? When has Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris or Hitchens ever screamed abuse at people?

She expressed a desire for men to be treated equally by preventing them from listening to a lecture of the opposing view? By throwing free speech out the window? Doesn't sound very fair to me.

It's like you're scared to disagree with them. Actually I don't blame you, if that's the way they react to criticism, I would think twice before speaking out against them. They are bullies, plain and simple.
