chauvinistic

Aggressively biased toward own

Chauvinistic describes excessive, aggressive loyalty to one's own group—originally one's country, now most often one's sex.

A chauvinistic attitude assumes inherent superiority: His chauvinistic views about women cost him the promotion.

Male chauvinism specifically denotes men who believe women are inferior.

The broader sense of blind patriotism still appears but has been largely displaced by the gendered meaning.
