brocialist

Why this word is great

BROCIALIST — [Noun] A male socialist, especially one accused of neglecting or opposing feminist issues while maintaining progressive views on other matters. A portmanteau of bro (colloquial term for a male friend, often implying masculine camaraderie) and socialist (advocate of socialism), the term skewers the hypocrisy of performative radicalism. Unlike "brogressive" (which casts a wider net over male liberals) or "manarchist" (which narrows in on anarchist circles), "brocialist" isolates the particular dissonance of a man who will wax poetic about seizing the means of production but balk at sharing the domestic labor. It is the raised fist in a protest march that never once held a diaper, the dog-eared copy of Marx on a shelf beside an unread copy of de Beauvoir, the fervent belief that class struggle absolves all other sins—a reminder that even revolution can be a boys' club.
