A brocialist is a person who has left-wing beliefs, but doesn't like women, or, at least, ignores them as far as politics is concerned.
That's more or less the definition on Wiktionary, anyway.
Left-wing...
...but I always thought that meant wishing to promote the freedom, power, welfare and comfort of the common people.
How can someone be both left-wing and be dismissive of women?
It's beyond me.
Sunday Rest: brocialist. The bro- bit is from brother, a word that goes right back to the Sanskrit bhrātar and the -cialist bit is from socialist. The word social comes from socius, which means comrade.
