is generally understood to mean

Is it? I didn't interpret it that way, and that isn't what the question says. And why would it be "understood" that is what is being asked? Logically, the answers would be "she is a feminist" and "she is not a feminist", there would be no reason to construct the answers with the information that she is a bank teller if that is what was being asked.

This seems like another detail that rational thinking picks up- if you stop and think about the answer format the "generally understood" interpretation doesn't make any sense.

The answers given don't make sense together, and don't fit the question. I am speculating that the usual way (for people who don't prefer interacting with machines to interacting with people, which would be most people) to read this is to assume someone was careless/sloppy, and to mentally "correct" the answers to the nearest thing that makes the most sense before answering.
