The return of the “Male Chauvinist Pig”

with 11 comments

There are times when the best man for the job is a woman, but simply being a woman is not enough.

In the 70s, when radical feminists began burning their bras and demanding the right to break in line, they branded any man who stood up to them as a “male chauvinist pig” – MCP for short.

with 7 comments

Thanks to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Helen Reddy will have to go back and rewrite the feminist’s theme song she penned in the early 70s. “I am Woman Hear Me Roar” obviously doesn’t cut it anymore.
