Hmmm I didn't say anything about me - just you girls. So really if we're speaking English, this wouldn't fit the bill here.
chau·vin·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (shv-nzm)
n.
Militant devotion to and glorification of one's country; fanatical patriotism.
Prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's own gender, group, or kind: “the chauvinism... of making extraterrestrial life in our own image” (Henry S.F. Cooper, Jr.).
Now I'm assuming we're talking about my gender here since you're a girl. Not only do I not qualify under the other devotions, but this one is ridiculous since I made no claim whatsoever to my gender being superior.
In fact even in other threads, I've been self-confident but not cocky and definitely not chauvinistic.
So the question is do we use the same version of English?
