The chauvinist in you

chauvinist
noun : a person with a prejudiced belief in the superiority of his or her own kind

That guy cursing behind the wheel at a lady driver.
That lady loudly proclaiming that her husband couldn't live without her cooking and cleaning after him.
That boss who thinks you can't do the job because it's a man's job.

Yes, everyone can spout equality. But, husbands still expect the wives to be in charge of the cooking and cleaning. Wives still allow themselves to think that they are in charge of house chores - and that if they were unable to do so, they'd be lesser women. Or worse yet, women who think that men can't separate the whites from the colours. Who's the more chauvinist of the two?
