Simply Male
Thought for the day: When did "chauvanist pig" become a standard suffix to the word "male"? When did we stop being offended by it?

PS - I think we need to start being offended by it again. PPS - Not everyone says it, of course.

I hear you on that front!
I work in a department where male bashing is the sport of the day. Luckily for me, I'm not exactly a shrinking violet so I call them on every little piece of sexist verbal drivel they spill forth.
Equality goes both way ladies. I'm all for everyone haveing an even go, but don't bust male nuts universally because one individual has got on your goat!
Agreed. I'm not personally subjected to male-bashing as much, working in a mostly male-dominated office, but I notice it in various contexts. It's not right.
