Wiktionary, the free dictionary.Misogyny (pronounced /mɪˈsɒʤɪni/) is hatred (or contempt)[1] of women.[2][3] Misogyny is parallel to misandry — the hatred of men. Misogyny is also comparable with misanthropy,[4] which is the hatred of humanity generally. The antonym of misogyny is philogyny, love towards women. Those holding misogynic beliefs can be of either sex.[citation needed] Marcus Tullius Cicero reports that Greek philosophers considered misogyny to be caused by gynophobia, a fear of women.[5] In the late 20th century, feminist theorists proposed misogyny as both a cause and result of patriarchal social structures.
