We have seen aggressive feminists labelled as "angry, b!tchy" etc. but not the men who are chauvnists and sometimes downright misogynists like some who will go unmentioned who post rants(not questions) like "Why it is better to be a man".
We have male chauvinists who return to the board again and again, posting similar "questions" to incite response from Yahoo users. The trolls return and they post more of such "questions" than the female chauvinists in one day.. So aren't they an "angry male chauvinist"?

I agree they are ACMs.
One thing I can tell you is that quite a few men do grow out of this though regrettably not all of them. It's much easier to dump on women if you don't have one or are having trouble with the one you have. Once you have someone it loses its interest...usually.
I actually suspect this behavior is an odd, distorted and grossly inadequate form of courting behavior...I'm not joking. They're looking to get a girl this way. It's atavistic masculine behavior - chest thumping.

You are correct, to a degree.
The difference, I think, is that the "angry feminists" have a longer history, so their reputation is more well established.
The, as you call them, "angry male chauvinists" are a backlash against the "angry feminists" - but can be just as unreasoning.
I'm all up for a healthy debate, but the unreasoning hatred and debasement of ALL males in the world or ALL females in the world is ridiculous.
You cannot really have an intelligent discussion with a person that is not reasonable.
And BOTH extremes are demonstrated here regularly.

There are terms for what you're describing in men. Nice guy-itis, B.M.S. (Bitter Male Syndrome), and masculinist. I suffer from all of these 3 myself. I am here on Yahoo Answers, www.nomarriage.com, and others because I want to minimize my risk of getting involved with another misled feminist or a woman who hides her scorn until you're living together or married. There are certain segments of both genders that are walking targets for being taken advantage of and being abused. Just because you're a good woman and most of the women you know are good women, that doesn't mean that there isn't a huge risk for a nice guy in today's western society of hooking up with a woman with hurtful double standards. When I post a "question" I get as much (sometimes more) useful information from the misled feminists as I do the men and women who answer my question directly and accountably.

Damn Gloria Steinem for corrupting the term "Chauvinist"...
Can you PLEASE use Misogynist instead? Using "Chauvinist" pollutes the "good" name of Nicolas Chauvin for who the word is named. It relates to intense patriotism or alliance to a group, not sexism.
That said, I would be all for calling such individuals "Angry Misogynists." By the same token, it would be better if "Misandrist" was used instead of "Feminist," as not all feminists (maybe even not most) are so negative toward men.

I agree. And when you call them on their b.s., they are VERY quick to label you "misandrist", blah, blah. But when you call them what THEY are, misogynists with low self-esteem who desperately need to feel better than SOMEONE, and come here to take out their inadequacies and anger on women in general, then, there again, YOU are the "angry b!tch." Basically, if you don't AGREE with them, that women are inferior, overly emotional, and fundamentally flawed as a group of people, then you are just a b!tch who "hates men." Sounds like a whole lot of projecting, to me. Anyone who thinks they are better than an entire group of people is obviously lacking, and they know it.

I think that they are
"Angry little boys afraid and threatened by Real Women".
To them, their fear is justification for phallic fantasizes, accusations of lesbianism and veiled threats.
In the real world, they'd be dangerous. Fortunately for us all, here in the virtual world, it's all in their pointy little heads.
And you know who I'm referring to!
WTG, excellent query.
Good luck.

I agree with you, moreover they show that some men don't have much to do if they keep on returning to the board.
