"As a lifelong feminist I have always balked at the idea that women
might be “better than men” because it perpetuates the myth that women
and men are polar opposites, and that our skills (or lack of them) is to
do with innate qualities rather than as a result of socialisation or
opportunity. This particular competition of “who is best at what”
further ingrains the false belief that “the battle of the sexes” is here
for time immemorial.
The reality is that after thousands of years of living under patriarchy,
through no choice or fault of our own, women have developed certain
skills as a result of this tyranny. A feminist friend once remarked that
“if oppression made one a better person there would be something to be
said for it”, and while I agree wholeheartedly with this, the truth is
that we have had to become far better than men at most things."

It seems that for some it’s not about a desire for equality but a
pathological urge to say “We’re superior”
