Morphology
The meaning of 'pop feminism' is directly and transparently derived from 'pop' (popular, mass-market) + 'feminism' (belief in equal rights for women): it denotes a mainstream or popular-culture form of feminism. This adjectival composition follows common English patterns and similar constructions exist cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Pop feminism comes from joining pop, which means 'popular culture', with feminism. Think of feminist ideas in pop songs, fashion or celebrity posts that are made to reach many people, so pop feminism means 'feminism in popular culture' or a simpler, public form of feminist ideas.
