Real feminism

OK, I confess, I have been watching old reruns of Buffy the vampire slayer.
One of the video comments got under my skin though.
The young woman commenting implies that feminists believe that women are/need to be stronger, unflawed, that seeing women as just ordinary, not better or worse than men is somehow anti-or at least unfeminist.
I strongly disagree. Seeing men and women as equal is true feminism. Insisting that women are always in every way better than men  is foolish and totally impractical, leading to great frustration and most likely abandonment of the cause completely.
Women DO NOT have to be perfect to deserve equal rights.

Listen closely

Many people are upset over Rick Perry's comments on gays/alcoholism, but I think they are missing the point. Buried in his comment is his suggestion that homosexuality is a genetic condition i.e. something your are born with. Seems to me this is a real step forward for a Republican like him.
For a long time it was said that sexuality was not qualified to be a protected status like color because it could be changed. Is this a back step from that?
Something to think about.
