Before we get started, here is Wikipedia's definition of feminism:
Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women.[1][2] In addition, feminism seeks to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist is a "person whose beliefs and behavior are based on feminism."[3]

The glaring issue for me in this definition and in the movement of feminism in general, is the word EQUAL.
Why in feminism's name would you want to fight for EQUAL-ity to be a male, when on ALL levels we are far, FAR superior. I mean, surely the reason feminism came about was to promote women and give them opportunities to prove their worth was far beyond that of a male, and not as his equal. I just don't for the life of me understand why anyone would fight for equal advantages when they should be fighting for better advantages.
I know this may sound completely ridiculous and somewhat discrediting to all the women who have fought for gender equality and rights. But, look I am not trying to take away from what our fore-mothers have done. We needed them to do what they did to get where we are today. Thanks to them we actually do have a fair chance. But what I am trying to say is here onwards, lets fight to aim higher and better than being equal to the less fairer sex, we share our world with.
My father always brought me up to believe that their was nothing a man could do that a woman couldn't do. I believe there is nothing a man can do that a woman can't do better. That's right darlings, BETTER!
So please, from the bottom of my heart I beg all quasi, full, semi, marginal, in-between feminists to never again strive for mediocrity and equality but to rather transcend that into superiority and all out domination. Why should anyone fight for less?
I herewith pledge that I will never fight to be below or next to a man, but rather above. Because lets face it, that is where we all belong.

Not equal, not better, different, unique.
