    Chauvinism is the unreasonable belief in the superiority or dominance of one's own group or people, who are seen as strong and virtuous, while others are considered weak, unworthy, or inferior. It can be described as a form of extreme patriotism and nationalism, a fervent faith in national excellence and glory.In English, the word has come to be used in some quarters as shorthand for male chauvinism, a trend reflected in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, which, as of 2018, begins its first example of use of the term chauvinism with "an attitude of superiority toward members of the opposite sex".

  1. Gaetan Mooto:

    There is a male chauvinistic culture which says: 'I will decide in the place of the woman', even when women have the money for contraception, they don't have the control over their own bodies.

  2. Germaine Greer:

    There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood what women want and that they are capable of giving it to them.

Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
