Really!?...I mean really now

So I was talking with some women from my apartment complex and mentioned how I'm a feminist. I mean, I don't have t-shirts or think about it all the time, but I believe we are just as powerful as men and I expect a lot (if not more) of us.
One girl in the room said, "Really? Your a feminist? That's funny. I'm not. I think everything we do we suck at. Men are just better at stuff. Sports, teaching, business... We women fail at everything. Men are better at everything. I know, it's sad, but it's true."


Oh. OoooH. Oho-HO! I wish you had been there. The rest of us girls in the room at first didn't know what to say. Literally, Carly said, "I don't even know what to say to that."

After resetting my jaw and processing her words, I said a few things like, "Well you know behind every great man is a great(er) woman. And I understand what you're saying, but I think a lot of the successes and things we DO accomplish aren't widely known or publicized. When we fail, it's expected or heralded. When we succeed, nobody hears about it..."

She didn't say much or really consider what I said. She just kept her eyes down, shrugged and restated her senseless, immature position.

Shortly after of course, I was still thinking about it, "Hey, what was she saying about ME? I don't suck! And if she really believes that, why doesn't she just drop out of school and let a man do everything for her!?" 

...Food for thought
