male chauvinist pig

Definition

Or: MCP , a sexist male who believes in and proclaims the superiority of men over women. Rosalie Maggio in The Dictionary of Bias-Free Usage (1991) recommends chauvinist or sex-chauvinist : '" Chauvinism" used to refer to the view that one's own country was vastly superior, right or wrong, to all other countries. Dictionaries now also define "chauvinism" as the view that one's own sex is vastly superior. Either a man or a woman can be a sex-chauvinist.'

QUOTE: Ruth (Jill Clayburgh) and Dan (Walter Matthau) in First Monday in October (1981):
-- Ruth Loomis: ' You're an arrogant, self-centered, male chauvinist pig.'
-- Dan Snow: ' You're just being sweet to me because I'm a man.'
