This document discusses the concepts of chauvinism and racism. It defines chauvinism as an exaggerated form of patriotism and support for one's own group, often accompanied by a prejudiced or hostile attitude towards other groups. The document then provides historical context for the term from a French soldier named Nicolas Chauvin. It examines perspectives on chauvinism from Indian society and includes an excerpt from an interview with a self-described misogynist that illustrates extreme chauvinist views. The document concludes by discussing laws and acts passed in India to prevent domestic violence, sexual harassment, discrimination, and protect women's rights in an effort to reduce chauvinism in society.

3. CHAUVINISM
I was 16 when I first came across the phrase “CHAUVINIST MALE
PIG.” I don’t remember where I read it, but it roused my curiosity & I
went to seek help from the most trusted source of our generation ‘google.’
Google defines Chauvinism as “excessive or prejudiced support for one's
own cause, group, or sex.” It is a belligerent belief that you are superior.
Chauvinism, in its original meaning, is an exaggerated patriotism.
HISTORICAL
French soldier Nicolas Chauvin, who was badly wounded in
the Napoleonic wars. He received a pension for his injuries but it was not
enough to live on. After Napoleon abdicated, Chauvin was a fanatical
Bonapartist despite the unpopularity of this view in Bourbon Restoration
France. His single-minded blind devotion to his cause, despite neglect by
his faction and harassment by its enemies, started the use of the term.
By extension, it has come to include an extreme and
unreasoning partisanship on behalf of any group to which one belongs,
especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards rival
groups. Jingoism is the British parallel form of this French word, but its
meaning has not expanded beyond nationalism in the same way that the
word chauvinism has.
INDIAN SOCIETY’S TAKE
Chauvinism is a characteristic which reflects ignorance. Remember
Devdas and his modern version in Dev D! Dev’s chauvinism gave him the
liberty of having all the fun with females around him and the same
chauvinism led to his break up when he got suspicious about the loyalty of
his girlfriend. Frankly, I had not witnessed male chauvinism till I was
secure in my house. I had seen my father prepare morning tea for my
mother at ties when she overslept. My father knew more about our

4. medication and vaccinations than my mother. My father would not hesitate
in going for shopping with my mother. In fact, I can easily say that he can
make the best choice of clothes in our family. But as I grew up and went
out for studies, I came across a variety of people who could be easily
categorized as being highly male chauvinistic. Many of my friends say
they want to marry a home-maker girl. I can never understand the irony of
this. Why would a guy want to make someone sacrifice her career for an
orthodox bent of mind? Before marriage we teach our daughters that men
and women are equal. There is no difference in their rights. But as soon as
a female is married, her own parents tell her to be the sacrificing, the
submissive, the non-expecting, the giving kind of a wife. In fact, so strong
is the impact of this façade that I’m sure I would also be giving the same
advice to my daughter once she is about to get married. After all, all
parents want their daughters to have a trouble free married life. But why is
our society affected by male chauvinism the most? I don’t know the right
answer to this but I personally feel that this characteristic creeps into every
Indian male right from his birth. Right from female foeticide to
distribution of sweets only on a male’s birth to extra pampering of a male
child to first right to education and job; it’s all for a male child in India. I
think we ourselves are to be blamed for polluting the minds of males and
making them believe that they are the boss.

5. This is a common scene in many households across the globe. Though,
with growing literacy the scenario is changing but it is not at a sufficient
rate.
People ask psychiatrists about conditions such as Narcissistic Personality
Disorder, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Antisocial Personality
Disorder which do not have great treatment records via therapy in and of
itself. While chauvinism is not a DSM-IV disorder per se, it remains a
social problem that is not easily ameliorated.

6. MISOGYNIST’S VIEW
Below is an excerpt of interview of Dick Matherson, author of
“Menarebetterthanwomen.com” (believe me there is a site by this name &
only men are allowed on it) by Rob Dobrenski, Ph.D. here he gives us an
insight of the mindset of a misogynist.
Rob: While MenAreBetterThanWomen.com does not allow women on its
site, I both allow and encourage women to read ShrinkTalk.Net. Is this a
problem for the purposes of this interview?
Dick: I have no problems with women reading this interview and I
have no problem catering to the female mind. Sometimes, I talk to
as many as three or four women a day. Just expect my answers to
be slightly less profound than they would be at a man-brain packed
sausage-party like MenAreBetterThanWomen.com. Swear words
and The Truth melt women’s pretty little brains.
2) (Mental Note: Subject believes women’s brains are not only small, but
attractive as well). Dick, isn’t it true that you wanted to speak to me as a
form of therapy, as a way to purge yourself of your hateful ways?
As I kept insisting on Dr. Phil, I don’t hate women. I’m just aware
of the mountain of evidence throughout history and science which
concludes that men are better than women. Who invented the V8
engine? A man. Who discovered the teachings of Jesus? A man.
Sure, I’ve said that women are whores, but what’s wrong with a whore? A
whore is a woman who provides sex in exchange for money. A trash
collector collects your trash for money. A magician blows your mind for
money. Women will collect and blow anything you want for a free car. I
have no idea why a man would hate a whore. I suppose he might if he was
broke.

7. 3) I see. In my practice, approximately 60% of those without a diagnosed
psychological problem are female, and many of my colleagues report a
similar statistic. I suspect that this is because women tend to be more open
to self-exploration and communication. What are your thoughts on this?
I’ve written about this in my book Men Are Better Than Women in an
article titled Television, Syphilis, and Cats. In it, I ask how
psychologists can even successfully test a woman for mental
illness. How do you tell if someone spilled paint on a Jackson
Pollack? 60% of the time, you can’t.
4) Okay, so in addition to not hating whores, you enjoy discussing STD’s,
felines and fine art. Good. Moving on, you recently appeared on the Dr.
Phil Show. Many see him as a wise and helpful man, despite a formal
reprimand from the state of Texas for having a dual relationship, as well as
portraying himself as an authority in specialties that are outside his area of
study. What “Man Advice” would you give to such a charlatan and poor
excuse for a man?
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I don’t take advice from
tampon salesmen. As soon as I put a tampon ad between the words
“are” and “better” in MenAreBetterThanWomen.com, you can
officially reject everything I say.
While I was on Dr. Phil, I saw a form of worship and fervor that I have not
seen outside of a Pentecostal church. Not worship over Dr. Phil’s advice or
teachings, but over the general gestalt of his empire. You might want to
include a definition of that fancy word for your female audience.
I’m not sure Dr. Phil is even selling psychological advice. I think he’s
selling a religion, and I have no problem with that. You can see the
tampon ad a mile away.
5) I think all of us are familiar with the definition of…wait, what was that
term again? Gestalt? Never mind. I often see men in my practice who
struggle with issues related to intimacy and commitment. I suspect you do
as well. What do you believe is behind these difficulties?

8. “Issues” with intimacy and commitment are good things. I’m tired
of this vagina-conspiracy targeting men and their perfectly honed
instincts — which I call manstincts. “Intimacy” and “commitment”
lead to one thing: marriage. Marriage is a 50/50 bet with
everything a man owns — including any sex he may or may not be
getting over the next ten years.
There should be neon signs in front of churches telling you to fuck off. A
few emotional warning signs are your first line of defense against insanity.
6) (Mental Note: Remind pastors in therapy to tell clergy to “fuck off”).
Your critics have suggested that your attitude toward women is due to a
defect in your early bond with your mother, but I suspect a neurological
problem or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Do you have a TBI?
Traumatic brain injury? I can’t say that’s impossible. I used to box
and I did get a pretty good crack on the head one time trying to feel
up an Irish girl with a huge rack at Starkbierzeit in Munich. Great
festival, but nowhere near as man credible as Oktoberfest.
Back to my mother, eh? My mother told me not to write the book and not
to write the site. Sounds like a good mother to me.
7) What advice would you give to women who have unfaithful spouses?
Hit the Treadmill. You can find more information about that at
HitTheTreadmill.com. A man will never cheat on a woman who
keeps him well fed and well fucked. It’s called “responsibility”.
So sex, exercise and gustatory satisfaction are the keys to marital bliss?
Fascinating. Do you have issues with female animals, or just female
people?
Female animals actually share a lot in common with female
humans. Female mosquitoes, for example, suck blood while male
mosquitoes do not. Male mosquitoes are content with chilling.
Female lions are also so greedy that they do all the hunting. If I
was a lion, I would love running around the dessert killing the shit
out of everything. Female lions are selfish.

9. 9) If men are truly better than women, what is your take on how marriages
can be more successful?
The only marriage that will ever work is the one between chocolate
and peanut butter that is the delicious candy snack of Reese’s
Peanut Butter Cups. All other marriages are frauds and hoaxes.
Don’t fix what isn’t broken.
OTHER ASPECTS OF CHAUVINISM
Chauvinism is not restricted just to male domination of female. Racism,
fascism, any type of superiority complex is a part of chauvinism. Be it
Hitler’s genocide act towards Jews or Symonds-Harbhajan monkey-gate
spat, they are all varied aspects of the same.
PREVENTING CHAUVINISM
Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005
Sexual Harassment of women at workplace(Prevention, prohibition,
redressal) act of 2013
Forms of violence recognized in India:
 Persistent denial of food.
 Insisting on perverse sexual conduct
 Denying access to children
 Physical violence
 Confining women at home & denying social intercourse
 Threatening divorce unless dowry is given

10. Act of the Parliament of India enacted to protect women from domestic
violence. It was brought into force by the Indian government from October
26, 2006. The act was passed by the parliament in August 2005 & assented
to by the President on 13 September 2005. As of November 2007, it has
been ratified by 4 of 28 state governments in India; namely Andhra
Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh & Odisha. Of about 8000 criminal
cases registered all over India under this act, Rajasthan had 3440 cases,
Kerala had 1028 cases, while Punjab had 172 cases registered.
An application regarding domestic violence can be presented to the
magistrate seeking one or more reliefs mentioned in sections by:
 The aggrieved person
 Protection officer on behalf of aggrieved person
 Any other person on behalf of aggrieved person
The first class magistrate court or metropolitan court shall be the
competent court within the local limits of which
 The aggrieved person permanently or temporary resides or carriers
on business or is employed
 The respondent permanently or temporarily resides or carries on
business or is employed
Protection orders:
Protection order is passed in favor of aggrieved person prohibiting the
respondent from following acts such as committing any acts of domestic
violence22
 Aiding or abetting in the act of domestic violence
 Attempting to communicate in any form including personal, oral
or written, electronic or telephonic contact
 Committing any other specified by the protection officer

11. Monetary relief is also a part of it. In case of child, the custody is
temporarily given to aggrieved person and the respondent might even be
prohibited from visiting rights.
PREVENTING RACISM:
Preventing racial discrimination in a country as diversified as India where
500+ languages are spoken, is again a Herculean task.
Acts against discrimination in India:
 The caste disability removal Act, 1850
 Hindu Succession Act, 1956-Abolished “limited owner” status of
women who owned property, amended in 2004 to give daughters
equal inheritance rights
 S.C. & S.T. (prevention of atrocities) Act, 1989
