直男癌这个新兴词汇于2014年6月末出现于豆瓣与微博，源于网友们对活在自己的世界观、价值观、审美观里，时时向别人流露出对对方的不顺眼及不满，并略带大男子主义的人的一种讽刺。无独有偶，直男癌患者不只中国有，外国也大有人在。“male chauvinist pig指的就是这种人。 A male chauvinist pig (MCP) was a term used in the 1960s among some feminists for some men, usually men with some power (such as an employer or professor), who believed that men were superior and expressed that opinion freely in word and action. “男性沙文主义猪是20世纪60年代一些女权主义者使用的一个术语，用来指一些手握大权的男人(如雇主或教授)，他们认为男人优于女人，并在言语和行动中丝毫不掩饰这种观点。 "Chauvinist" means someone who assertively maintains that his or her kind -- usually people of the same nationality -- are superior; "chauvinism" refers to an extreme and bigoted form of patriotism. Thus, "male chauvinism" was used to refer to an attitude of male superiority or male entitlement to power over women. “沙文主义者指的是坚定地认为他或她的同类——通常是同样国籍的人——优于别人的人。“沙文主义指的是一种极端的、盲从的爱国主义。因此，“男性沙文主义被用来指认为男人优于女人或者男人应该比女人更有权力的一种态度。 |
