Chauvinism is a manifestation of misogyny. She's making the mistake that many do when they only see people shouting racial epithets as racist, but want to find a kinder, gentler label for the ideas that promote racial stereotypes. It's all racism.

Overall a good piece. I hope she realizes that misogyny is far more widespread than she thinks.
