Mass Misogyny

[Orion1]

Main Question or Discussion Point

Misogyny is an exaggerated aversion toward women. Compared with anti-woman sexism or misandry, misogyny is usually regarded as directed against women by some men, though women can also harbor misogynistic views. In feminist theory, misogyny is recognised as a political ideology similar to racism or anti-Semitism, existing to justify and reproduce the subordination of women by men. The etymology of misogyny comes from the Greek and means to hate (misein) woman (gyne).
