No, Nietzsche never supported Feminism.
His views about women were that the primary role of women was besides motherhood, to serve as entertainment to the worrier in man.

Nietzche thought that women were as shallow as a puddle, sometimes he even use to say that they are not even shallow but only base.

Depending on how you look at it, he can be used to support feminism or not (according to my prof). I believe he was an idiot for the most part, but thats my opinion.
