Equality is the ultimate goal that we strive to achieve in society. Unfortunately, males continue to dominate positions of power in both the corporate and government realms, creating an ongoing imbalance that perpetuates gender inequality. Chauvinist invites viewers to confront this reality. The later version invited viewers to listen to the often absurd and outdated perspectives held by many males in power. Through this piece, the disparities in power and the effects on equality are highlighted, provoking critical reflection on the systemic nature of these issues.
