RfV-sense for “A belief in the superiority of men or the masculine.”; tagged but not listed. † ﴾^(u):Raifʻhār ^(t):Doremítzwr﴿ 21:35, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

This is the dominant use of the term, as is easily seen from even a cursory glance at b.g.c. Note that the RFV tag was added by an anon pushing an anti-feminist and pro-masculinist POV. (And for completeness' sake, I've now tagged the other sense as well, though I'm pretty sure it does meet CFI.) —Ruakh_TALK 21:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I've now added three cites that more closely match sense 1 than sense 2; but my instinct is to replace both with something like this:

An ideology of masculinity; especially, an ideology opposed to, or opposed by, feminism.

Any objections to my doing that and striking this?
