sex-chauvinist

Definition

Or: chauvinist , proposed as a substitute for: male chauvinist / male chauvinist pig. Rosalie Maggio in The Dictionary of Bias-Free Usage (1991): '" 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: John Wayne in The Lawless Nineties (1939): ' I never saw a woman yet who could do a man's work.'
