Exactly.

Probably you think that it does the world some measure of good if men like yourself support her, even if they don't really always mean it.

I don't know who you think don't really always mean it.
I said the piece strikes me as fair because I think she's got ample reason to feel the way she does. I also characterized it as hyperbole because I don't think she really believes that we can or will elect only feminist women and/or always take a step back, but we should be intentionally trying to do those things.

The phrase "virtue-signaling" is not entirely fair here, because it seems like you probably think that the public act of agreeing with her will somehow have some effect on the world apart from telling everyone here that you are on the side of feminism, although I confess that unless underpants gnomes are involved, I don't get it.

You don't get how men talking to other men about how they should be feminists will have some effect on the world? You don't get that one of us in particular needs to be told that he's the one being ridiculous? (Hint, it's the one who's got his undergarments in a knot over the crazy feminist)
