Male Chauvinism

Male Chauvinism Let’s begin with very definition of male chauvinism. It is the belief that men are superior to women. There are men who believe this to be true and some women do to. Most of us are raised with the thought that a woman’s place is in the kitchen and not in the workplace. I on the other hand have mixed feelings on this subject.

What if though she knew how to fix it and I didn’t? Society teaches us that it’s a man’s job to fix the car while it’s her job to bring me a cold beer and a sandwich. In some cases though people mistaken male chauvinism for chivalry. I carry in the groceries because I want
