Male chauvinism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Male chauvinism is the term used to describe the belief that males are undeniably superior to females. The word "chauvinist" was originally used to describe someone who has a fanatical loyalty in one's country. The word was later applied by the "women's liberation movement" in the 1960s and used to describe men who uphold the belief of female inferiority.

The slur "male chauvinist pig" has been reclaimed by some men as a jocular personal rebuttal or tolerance of such accusations.
