The word "superiority" doesn't even fit in this sense. It just doesn't sound right to my ear. Equality, yes, superiority no.

I'd argue with any woman here my age who says she wasn't devalued at some point BECAUSE she was female. Superiority indeed. Until women are no longer treated like chattel around the world, we need to fight for the rights of those women.
