This article isn't quite as trollish as its title, but it fails to mention the most important point: it's only because the major forms of feminism succeeded that we live in a society where women can get educated, vote, etc. I don't know anyone who wouldn't be horrified to see that rolled back. So, on the important points, we are all feminists.
It's true that feminist ideology has led to misconceptions and excesses that society is now having to correct. But it's hard to imagine that a social change of this magnitude -- has there ever been a bigger one? -- could take place with enough precision not to go too far. You can't launch a rocket that stops on a dime. The solution is simply to refine and correct. This is happening.
That a single generation fell for the fallacy that women and men are the same was entirely to be expected given the importance and magnitude of the shift, and is little more than a historical blip along the way. The overwhelming majority of younger women don't think like that.
