‹ chat statusMisogyny (/mɪˈsɑdʒəni/) is hatred of or strong prejudice against women. Compared with anti-woman sexism or misandry (hatred of or strong prejudice against men), misogyny is usually regarded as directed against women by some men, though women can also hold misogynistic views. In feminist theory, misogyny is recognized as a political ideology - similar to racism or anti-Semitism - that justifies and maintains the subordination of women by men. The word comes from the Greek misos "hatred" + gyne "woman".

ERM. I don't want to start something. Then again...i'm preparing for some fireworks.
FYI Misandry is its opposite
