Female chauvinism or supremacism is the belief that females are superior to males. It is the reverse of male chauvinism.

One form of female chauvinism propragated by radical gender feminists is the false idea of female moral superiority. McElroy notes that all men are considered unreformable rapists, wife-beating brutes and useless as partners or fathers to gender feminists. By contrast, gender feminists view women as innocent victims who never make irresponsible or morally questionable choices. [1]

Another form of female chauvinism is the idea that women have different ways of knowing than men and that those so-called 'female' ways of knowing are somehow superior to so-called 'male' ways of knowing.
