Macho: (adj) characterized by Machismo. (noun) one who exhibits machismo.

Machismo= 1 : a strong sense of masculine pride : an exaggerated masculinity

Feminism: 1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests


So, a man is macho if he has pride in masculinity, but if a woman is a feminist, she is seeking equality. So what is a woman who has pride in her femininity?
The word is muliebrity.
