Male chauvinism—the attitude that women are the passive and inferior servants of society and of men—sets women apart from the rest of the working class. Even when they do the same work as men, women are not considered workers in the same sense, with the need and right to work to provide for their families or to support themselves independently. They are expected to accept work at lower wages and without job security. Thus they can be used as a marginal or reserve labor force when profits depend on extra low costs or when men are needed for war.
Women are not supposed to be independent, so they are not supposed to have any "right to work". This means, in effect, that although they do work, they are denied the right to organize and fight for better wages and conditions. Thus the role of women in the labor force undermines the struggles of male workers as well. The boss can break a union
A. male workers are often treated as men instead of workers in companies
B. males’ anger and frustration are posing serious threat to our present system
C. it is quite natural for males to beat their wives, children and dogs for no reason
