Definition of "masculinist"

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.

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.
