That's a tough one to teach, eh? Empowerment without superiority. My son is the only boy in the family. He has 5 sisters. He's tall for his age, and strong as a horse, with big "paws". But in my house I'm very pro gentle parenting, peacefulness, etc...so that, combined with having all sisters, and his gentle personality, made him an easy target for a school bully last year. It was tough teaching him to come to recognize his own strength, because he's not needed to test it before..it's a complex thing.
