[edit] Female chauvinism

Female chauvinism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
  • Delete Does not occur enough to warrant an article. Pichu0102 19:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Its an accusation frequently leveled as a criticism of the feminist movement, even if it doesn't actually happen that often. (And it does) 209.6.230.71

  • Keep or merge/redirect (along with the similar stub at male chauvinism) to chauvinism. Might not be much there, but it's got references. It's not our place to judge whether or not it "occurs enough" if its occurrence can be verified through reliable sources. Shimeru 22:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as a notable topic, although the article needs some more substance, including some sources. If we can't do this, perhaps merge with chauvinism. Heimstern Läufer 00:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge male and female stubs into chauvinism (seems ironic to have a gender specific article name). Feminine term in question here is notable and yields lots of Google Book Search hits. --Howrealisreal 01:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree that it exists but this article will invariably be used to advance anti-feminist rhetoric. Not much can be written on it without becoming unencyclopedic. I also disagree with merging with male chauvinism, except perhaps as a short mention. Dan Carkner 02:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Enough sources exist (perhaps not on the Web, but most certainly in print) if there's someone willing to take the time to do the research. Basic Google search reveals about 269,000 hits, many (if not most) clearly using the phrase "female chauvinism". metaspheres

  • Keep There is a recent book on the subject at my local bookstore. To imagine that somehow women never indulge in female superiority and male inferiority steoreotyping is absurd. We need balance on these loaded and politically incorrect topics. (drop in editor) 128.111.95.110 05:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. NPR did a segment on the book Female Chauvinist Pigs which is cited as a source in the article. --Richard 03:48, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep encyclopaedic topic citing reliable sources - I'm not sure what else to ask of it. WilyD 18:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Has reliable sources, is encyclopedic. I'm not too concerned if it advances anti-feminist rhetoric as far as Wikipedia goes since it's not Wikipedia's job to support or oppose feminism. —ShadowHalo 04:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I encourage everyone to look at recent edits for an example of what I was talking about. Dan Carkner 15:32, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Ah, I interpreted what you said to mean that the article itself would promote anti-feminist rhetoric, rather than encourage people to add what appears to be original research. Thanks for clarifying. —ShadowHalo 22:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. It records a social phenomenon that exists, although its proponents, the Femo-fascists would like to hide it yet, for the time being. Strongly against merging as it would dilute an important subject just emerging out of Femofascist repression into the light, and repress it by reducing it to obscurity.

  • Strong Keep. Female Chauvinistic pigs are basically Gender feminists who work for spreading hatred and revenge on males/boys, whereas Equity feminists strieve for true gender equality. So, this articles is not against gender equality (or equity feminism). It must be noted that the suicide rate of males around the world is an average 3.5 times more than that of women and half of it is due to domestic violence and denial of child visitation. Hence it is unscientific to assume that female chauvinism does not exist. Newageindian 19:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
