Radical feminist such as Valerie Solanas did not classify society as a matriarchy (a society that preferences females over males which is still a hierarchy) because she viewed negative aspects of society including the capitalist commodity system as characteristics of the male sex.

 Chauvinism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term is derived from the undocumented Nicolas Chauvin, whose legend made him out to be a soldier under Napoleon Bonaparte whose fanatical zeal for his Emperor induced him, though wounded seventeen times in the Napoleonic Wars, to continue nevertheless to fight for France.
It is claimed he yelled in the Battle of Waterloo when the French were finally defeated: "The Old Guard dies but does not surrender!", implying blind and unquestioned zeal to one's country [or other group of reference].
As long as this concept did not develop into the ideology of chauvinism and remained in the rather vague realm of national or even nationalistic pride, it frequently resulted in a high sense of responsibility for the welfare of backward peoples.

 The Hillary Trap
Yes, "female bonding" often includes joking about male foibles and sharing horror stories of men behaving badly; mostly, such "girl talk" really is personal and not political.
She brought a mostly female crowd nearly to tears, and to deafening applause, when she described the "unfair emotional burden inflicted on women because of the inequities of the system."

 FT August/September 2003: Correspondence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It is not the case that a “female cannot represent Christ because of her femininity.” That is an incorrect answer to the question, “Why can a woman not be ordained?” Any woman can represent Christ precisely because of her femininity.
Chauvinism as a consequence of original sin necessitated that the Christ be a man. For due to chauvinism, a female Christ would not have been recognized by men as being their Lord, their Rabbi, their Savior.
Christ exemplified sacrificial love, which chauvinism identifies as a weakness and as a peculiarity of women; according to chauvinism, maleness is about strength, independence, power, and control.

 Male Genital Mutilation (Circumcision): Feminist Study of a Muted Gender Issue by Seham  Abd el Salam - Chapter 5
In the traditional ritual celebration, as it is described by Sa‘eed, adult male and female relatives, and even the circumcised children themselves, rejoice because they still see the traditional significance of the ritual as a procedure to introduce the child to manhood.
Female nurses suggested circumcision of the baby to Dr. Mona when she showed some tendency to postpone it, and the female members of Sa‘eed’s family used to hold boys tightly in order to fix them for circumcision.
Such female collaboration in circumcision signifies that male circumcision as it is performed now in Egypt carries a very ancient cultural feature as a tool to separate male children from women’s world and introducing them to the world of men (Turner 1967, Turner 1985; Hastings 1980).

For instead of celebrating the diversity not only of shapes, but of desires, Playboy and its kin have commodified female sexuality into a series of recognizable poses that have been reproduced and repeated until they are now the very definition, the only definition, of sexiness.

However, recent scientific eveidence points to an almost full adoption of the female empowerment in a small middle eastern area.
After a short but bloody massacre, the area was overthrown by an all female government, to date the only such ever known, who as their first law, declared that pressuring others into sex was a criminal offense, punishable by castration, which resulted in the total extinction of the population in just a single generation.
The evidence comes not just in early documents, but also in the fact that the halls of government unearthed were thought to be the only ones on earth where the carpets and curtains matched, and the furniture was frequently moved around "to see how it would look".
