    • 1985 April 27, Michael Zonta, “Men and the Sexual Revolution”, in Gay Community News, page 5:
      We live in a masculinist-oriented (as opposed to a feminist-oriented) society. That is, we live in a society which rewards masculine action, even if such action is taken by a woman.
    • 1999 March 19, Natalie Angier, The Guardian:
      But evolutionary psychology, as it has been disseminated across mainstream consciousness, is a cranky and despotic Cyclops, its single eye glaring through an overwhelmingly masculinist lens. I say "masculinist" rather than male because the view of male behaviour promulgated by hard-core evolutionary psychologists is as narrow and inflexible as their view of womanhood.
