What's the female word for misogynist?


Abusive men should definitely rot in jail but what is the word for a woman who hates men?

We've got misogynist but why is there no companion word? Do we believe that only men hate women, women never hate men?

I guess they don't hate them, they just eat them. That's cool.

Do you know the relative use of the word misandry to misogyny? Do most people know the word misandry?

So misogynist, I guess you'd say misandrist?

I believe it's 'misandronist.'

Hi! OK, I looked it up on Yahoo and a dictionary and they have these 3 words:
Misandrist
Misandry
Philogony

I bet there are other words out there as well!!! :)


Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso!

My dictionary didn't even have 'misandry,' but I know I've seen it written as 'misandrony.' I'll check an older dictionary.

To future generations:

I get a number of google hits for 'misandrony' but most if not all seem to be written by individuals as part of whatever statement they're making.

As far as actual dictionary hits, they all come up as 'misandry.'

Then there's these:

"misandrony
Not English
Misandrony has no English definition. It may be misspelled."

"Misandrony is often a misspelling of misandry. Misandrony has no English definition."

By the by, misandry isn't a real thing. It was made up by immature men with fragile egos, angry that some women weren't falling over themselves to ride men's dicks, or centering their entire world around men. By and large, men do not face the same vitriol from women that women get from men. And further more, one lone act of killing an inveterate wife-beater, does not a misandrist make.

You'll figure that out eventually when you decide to stop letting MRA reactionists think for you.

ROFL yeah right. Your entire post is a contradiction of itself. You preface your statements of misandry with a statement claiming it doesn't exist. Brilliant lol.

Oh, and by the by, men really don't care that women like you don't want to ride our dicks. With an attitude that poor, you wouldn't be any good at it anyway.

lunacyregnant,
You are a moron. If you would like me to carefully explain why, just let me know.

This abject stupidity from over a year ago hardly deserves a reply but not only does misandry exist it's not exclusive to women. There are plenty of men who think all men are inferior just as their are plenty of women who are openly misogynistic (many of whom believe themselves to be feminists).

"By the by, misandry isn't a real thing. It was made up by immature men...[blah, blah, blah, blather, blather, blather, etc.]"

Congratulations! That's the most stupid thing I've heard today. I hope you've grown up some in the last four years.
