Is there an adjective form of bowdlerize?

Originally it had nothing to do with sexism, but extreme patriotic nationalism. Not sure exactly when it acquired its association with the attitude of absolute male superiority, but it’s easy to see the parallels.

As Sternvogel said, Nicholas Chauvin was supposed to have served in the French Army under Napoleon, and practically worshiped the guy; chauvinistic meant more or less obsession with the virtue and superiority of a person or concept, and male chauvinism is a slight modification of that.
