Feminism too.
The #KillAllMen, #KillAllWhiteMen hashtags on Twitter are good examples of some of their activities.
Their backwards activism is often self-branded as "feminism", giving birth to things like #WomenAgainstFeminism. The definition of feminism has become sufficiently corrupted thanks to these people that women themselves are fighting against it.
I have a feeling it's their backwards "feminism" your parent commenter was referring to.
No, there isn't. "SJW" is an insult used by their opponents. (Some of them might choose to adopt it, but most as far as I know do not.)

I've seen that claim, but I'm extremely skeptical that it's a significant phenomenon.
There are idiots on the internet. They have opinions. It's alright.
Like any other -ism people are always debating what TRUE -ismists believe. eg. Is Rand Paul a libertarian? eg. Is Obama a liberal? In general most people have opinions that don't fit into neat little boxes.
The concept of feminism becoming discredited started happening way before the term "SJW" existed. Both from outside the movement (See: the straw feminist trope) and within the movement (from a small minority of crazies).
2nd wave is the one which frightened insecure men, and had some strong anti porn and anti sex messages from a few proponents. 3rd wave, in short, is why don't we all get along, sex is awesome, and if we help men with some of their problems with toxic masculinity, then everyone is better off.

And this is why nobody takes you seriously.
I think a lot of people here on HN are feminist in the sense that we think women should be treated equally to men in a modern society.
That said, I think it's true of lots of other situations. Political parties, for instance, are widely characterized as those "stupid" extremists. If you ask a liberal, Bill O'Reilly is the epitome of a conservative, and if you ask a conservative, Michael Moore is the epitome of a liberal.
In reality, most people on other side are just pretty normal.
I would never identify as a feminist, but certainly I believe in equal rights. I think that typically, people who identify as feminists give the "movement" a bad name.
Even then I feel like it has to be a hoax
