Hmm, is there a critique of the feminist movement in there? I didn't really see one. There might be one of Title IX specifically.
I think it more likely that she is merely attempting to qualify herself against feminist extremists that would not tolerate any critique of Title IX.
My guess is she's equating support of Title IX specifically as analogous to support of feminism generally. Not sure I agree with her on that point.
I think you're right. If anything she states she's a feminist just to clarify that she's not a far-right political hack.
From the OP's concluding graf:
