"The Political Economy of Male Chauvinism," by Katherine Kaufer and Tom Christoffel

Women's Liberation

This essay explores the concept of male chauvinism, or the belief that men are innately superior to women. It is a common ideology, often held by both men and women, and has been historically used to legitimate the inferior status of women in society as well as their unequal treatment, including their economic exploitation under capitalism.
