There is, and has always been, disagreements within feminism about what that equality looks like.
I think a more secular example is the issue of pornography. There are feminists who believe porn is inherently demeaning, and therefore can never exist in a feminist context; and there's feminists who believe porn is not inherently demeaning, and that it's largely "mainstream"/"male-gaze" porn which is. Both ideas are well within a feminist paradigm.
Another example of what you're talking about, I think, is in the topic of feminism in media: how to depict fictional women. There's an idea called "man with boobs" (no, really), which basically posits that simply writing a male character and gender-flipping before release isn't proper representation. Having a female body inherently changes how a person is going to experience life, after all, and this should be represented. And yet a MtF gender-flipped character might still be empowering for non-binary/trans people.
That's not even getting into the issues of "white feminism/intersectional feminism", or feminism in different cultures.
It's a question of what we, as feminists, believe equality and liberation from patriarchy look like. In my experience, "liberation from patriarchy" and "equality of the sexes" have been used interchangably, and that is what I meant.
