(good article BTW).

One is that the radical hate filled feminists (fringe but vocal) have so successfully tainted the word that many sane and happy women want not part of it. They see the anti-sex, anti-male, rape-obsessed (as in everything men do is rape in some way) nutjobs and automatically want to be distanced from them.

Either that or she sees herself as a successful leader and business person. Not as a successful female leader and businesswoman. Adding the qualifier female/woman to it kind of denigrates her success since it implies her gender rather than her talent had a role in it.
