I'll admit. I do like a guy who is taller, stronger, smarter, and makes more money than me.
I want a man who is better than me in THOSE ways. But that does not mean he is better than me overall. Those aren't the only qualities a human can posses, and neither are they superior qualities.
I am more nurturing than my husband. More compassionate. More understanding. More gentle. Are those not worthy qualities?
At the end of the day my husband is my equal, not my superior. If our society tends to put more value in the qualities that are more often found in men than women, that's a real shame.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
