No need to lynch them :/ -- the queer community, being more empathic in general, use 'femme' to refer to anyone with stereotypically feminine traits, and this detaches the social stigma that all women must do x and all men mustn't do x. But with your comment you just implied that all femmes are women, which isn't true -- SJW out of the way the real problem is what the commenter was referring to: the overwhelming and ridiculous pressure on the vast majority of females, whether they end up becoming women or not, from a very young age to conform to a certain image for others to enjoy. The porcelain look of Geishas is one such example, as are the facial prosthetics a lot of women in Korea and China utilise.
