I'm basing it on Raven's philosophy on how strength is everything, and Summer's slight stature and frame would not denote strength in her eyes. I can see her taking Summer very lightly at first, hence the toothpick remark. Of course there's more to winning and leading than just strength, something Raven couldn't have understood at the time, maybe still doesn't for all we know.

And for your information, we do know what Raven was like in her Beacon days, Tai said as much back in "Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back." And he spent years with Raven, so of course he'd know what she was like back then, so I've no reason to doubt him.

And if Summer did kick the crap out of Raven, it would only prove that Raven is right. I'd rather Summer was physically weaker than Raven (and she does appear so), yet is still chosen as leader just to stick it to Raven's "strength rules all" philosophy and thus make her start questioning everything she believes. That would make for great character development, which would not happen if the school shared her views.
