Misandry is formed from the Greek misos (μῖσος 'hatred') and anēr, andros (ἀνήρ, gen. ἀνδρός 'man').[15] "Misandrous" or "misandrist" can be used as adjectival forms of the word.[16] Use of the word can be found as far back as the 19th century, including an 1871 use in The Spectator magazine.[17] It appeared in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed.) in 1952. Translation of the French misandrie to the German Männerhass (Hatred of Men)[18] is recorded in 1803.[19]
A term with a similar but distinct meaning is androphobia, which describes a fear, but not necessarily hatred, of men.[20][better source needed] Anthropologist David D. Gilmore coined the term "viriphobia" in line with his view that misandry typically targets machismo, "the obnoxious manly pose", along with the oppressive male roles of patriarchy. Gilmore says that misandry is not the hatred of men as men; this kind of loathing is present only in misogyny which is the hatred of women as women.[3]
I do sometimes struggle with human beings...but without them, I would not eat, have a roof over my head, a car to get me from point A to point B and many other things. Sartre was a very strange man, not a fan of him.
“ The counterpart of misogyny is misandry, the hatred or dislike of men. Misandry is a minor issue, not equivalent to the widespread practice and extensive history of misogyny.[15] The antonym of misogyny, philogyny—love or fondness toward women—[16] is not widely used. “.

You’re right. I looked it up. By definition, “mysogyny” is only against women. “Dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.”
Should they invent a whole new word for females who are more misogynist than many men. Or does that good old venerable word BITCH suffice?🤔🤪
