I'll be nice and answer your questions, even if I am pretty sure you are a troll...

1. Who cares if he is a feminist or an ally? Terminology doesn't really matter, he tries to fight for equality and like everyone else on earth he is not perfect.
2. Except creating Buffy The Vampire Slayer? Or any of the other female characters in his other shows, which at the very least helped open up for even more strong/independent/Important/real women on television? Being involved in this: http://www.equalitynow.org/ without doing a lot of research I assume if he has not given any money to it he has at least used his fame to get some money in.
3. See point 2.

Also, I'll tell that to 15 year old me so she knows that when watching Buffy she shouldn't think that because the badass woman on television could be awesome and save the world then clearly I can become whatever the fuck I want too, because Buffy is just a "mastrubatory fantasy".

Just a feminist here to give you a high five for finding out he supports Equality Now! I was never a big Joss Whedon fan or anything, but I had to do a paper years ago that included writers who have donated to causes, and I found out about his his work for that organization. He even did a wonderful speech about it which can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYaczoJMRhs

Also I'm pretty sure he's mentioned that he identifies as a feminist and supports the cause. Anyway, his credibility is definitely there.
