Male Chauvinist Quotes

Useless, idle, exploitative male chauvinist drone! — Sue Limb

Our material eye cannot see that a stupid chauvinism is driving us from one noisy, destructive, futile agitation to another. — Anne Sullivan Macy

I strongly believe that antisemitism and Jewish chauvinism can only be fought simultaneously. — Israel Shahak

I know that when a supersexy older girl with hips and breasts and nice hair wants to take off your glasses and to paint you a smoky eye she's merely trying to enroll you in a beauty contest she's already won.

To me, this smacks of a blatant, insensitive "let them eat cake" type of chauvinism. — Chuck Palahniuk
