- Often, brocialism manifests at left-wing powwows. Someone raises a feminist grievance. The brocialist instructs her that she is distracted from the paramount issue, namely class. 2014 January 8, Marc Tracy, “How to Talk to a 'Brocialist'”, in New Republic:
- Pin them down, and the brocialists defend their blokeishness by saying that gender issues are essentially a second-order of importance, that there are bigger struggles which define our politics today. 2015 September 14, Cathy Newman, “Welcome to Jeremy Corbyn's blokey Britain - where 'brocialism' rules”, in The Telegraph:
- My experience is that ‘brocialists' don’t openly embrace patriarchy; they deny it’s a problem. 2013, Richard Seymour, quoted in Laurie Penny, "Laurie Penny on Brand, iconoclasm, and a woman's place in the revolution", New Statesman, 2 November 2013
