The critique in the video is only applicable to intersectional feminism, but you don't need to support anything else aside from gender equality to be considered a feminist. My girlfriend is a feminist and she is a bit racist, specially against black and Chinese people - That doesn't stop her from being a feminist and supporting women's rights. It is possible to be a feminist and have almost any political orientation or ideology, and to be pro or against almost any social, political, cultural and economic issue. I'm not saying I agree with racist feminism, but etymologically it's not impossible to be both.
all I'm saying is that a lot of feminist drive a wedge between themselves and their allies and would be members. It's not helping and the only ones dividing the movement is them. Btw why are you dating someone you know is racist?!
