According to the Merriam-Webster Chauvinism(noun) means attitude toward the opposite sex. It can be found on the last paragraph on “The Boys at the Back” by Christina Hoff Sommers. “I became a feminist in the 1970s because I did not appreciate male chauvinism”. The word chauvinism is used to show how there was an attitude toward the other sex rather than fairness playing a role in it. I understood what the author tried to imply after knowing the meaning of the word.
