'die Feministin' and 'der Feminist' both refer to people who advocate for gender equality. The most important difference is grammatical gender, and usually also the person meant. 'Feministin' is used for a woman. 'Feminist' is used for a man or generally for a person, especially when gender is not the focus. Learners may confuse the words because the meaning is almost the same. Pay particular attention to whether you are talking about a woman, a man, or a person in general.
