While I doubt this is how the OP meant it because it's usually meant in an "ew, I'm not an icky feminazi" way, you could be completely for women's rights and equality while not being the biggest fan of the feminist movement itself, which has a history of being very exclusionary towards trans women and non-white women. In THEORY, feminist just means someone who believes in gender equality, but theory=/=reality and while I still consider myself a feminist, I can understand that being spat on by a movement all the time might make you not want to identify with that movement, even if you like what they do IN THEORY.
Like, idk, I'm against child trafficking and shit, but I'm not going to support Kony 2012, because while they have a good idea at the center of it and I'm hardly pro-Kony because he's a horrible person, the organization is a fuckpile of LOL NO THANKS.
I guess it depends if you're using feminist to mean the hypothetical idea or feminist to mean the feminist movement.

No, I totes get this and actually mentioned it in another comment. But someone not identifying as feminist for legit reasons probably wouldn't mention it in this circumstance, while someone who is scared of people thinking she's a man-hating dyke would.

Or maybe, like stainless above, they have a personal experience that makes them want to specifically avoid that particular label. I think some people here are jumping to conclusions too rapidly... especially considering what the secret itself is about here.
