Should one refrain from speaking about the "wrong" kind of feminists?

This Maria doesn't think one should.

In fact, this Maria is applying Sturgeon's Law to everything that comes her way reading as feminist, emancipatory and empowering. Including what this article has to say on "Tory feminists: the true blood of sisterhood".

Of course, this doesn't mean that there aren't different kinds of feminists and feminisms. What I'm saying is that you can't write the words "feminist" and "Big Society" in the same sentence. You can't call yourself a feminist and be against abortion, or turn a blind eye to the extent to which cuts are really affecting women more than men everywhere. You can't call yourself a feminist and still endorse Tories proposal to offer tax breaks to married couples in the UK. And so on.

This is neither about alienating men, nor about victimising women. It's about making clear choices about the kind of society that we want. Gaby Hinsliff goes some way towards acknowledging the problem when she notes in her long article that:

The glaring gap in rightwing feminism, of course, is in what it offers poor and low-skilled women. Bold and imaginative when it comes to getting more high-flyers into boardrooms, it has rather less to say to women clinging to humbler jobs by their fingernails (whose childcare subsidyunder the Working Tax Credit is being cut). Perhaps that's why Tory support has risen among professional women since the election, but plummeted among the "squeezed middle".
