   • 2014, Marc Tracy, "How to Talk to a 'Brocialist'", New Republic, 8 January 2014:

     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.

   • 2015, Suzanne Moore, "As Jeremy Corbyn was anointed leader, not one female voice was heard", The Guardian, 12 September 2015:

     The new brocialism cares deeply about women’s issues of course – just not enough to elect an actual woman. They don’t need to, because good lefties speak for all us. They don’t even notice gender.

   • 2015, Cathy Newman, "Welcome to Jeremy Corbyn's blokey Britain - where 'brocialism' rules", The Telegraph, 14 September 2015
