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.
