I think your definition of feminism is inaccurate. When in doubt, take a look at the dictionary. It's defined as believing that men and women are, or should be, politically, economically, and socially equal.

Which doesn't mean believing that men and women are equal or the same in every way. It does mean believing that the physiological differences between men and women should not be used as an excuse to treat women as inferior.

At my age (49) I've heard every argument for and against women's lib that it's possible to advance, I believe. And I mostly stay out of it because I figure most people have their minds made up already, and it gets kind of old. I think it's probably not all that different than being black and listening to people talk about whether black people have lower IQs or not. No point spitting into the wind.

It's true, there are women who feel superior to men, and vice versa. And life seems to go along fine, regardless.
