misogynist?

Question

what's the female version(word for misogynist) like a misogynistic woman

Answer 1

The equivalent is misandrist (a person who hates persons of the male sex), a rare word but seemingly much sought-after. The corresponding noun for the attitude is misandry.

Answer 2

Man who hates women ----> Misogynist
Woman who hates women ---> Misogynist

Man or woman who hates men ---> Misandrist.

Some people say "misoandrist" .
You cant use the letter "o" when you create new words
using the Greek Language when the second word starts
with a,o,i,u,e

Mis -o- gyn - ist
Mis - andr - ist (No "o")

The reason that the same word is used for both male and
female is that in Greek Language articles are used :

In English : The misogynist
In Greek :
O Misoginis (Male)
I Misoginis (Female)

I found that the Yahoo Spell Checker does not have the word
misandrist.

Answer 3

Misogynist is a unisex word, it can apply to both men and women. It is the same for Misandrist, a hatred of men. That can apply to both men and women.

Answer 4

The word is the same whether it stems from a man or a woman, since either women or men can be misogynists. The word refers to hatred against women, but who is doing the hating is not intrinsic to the word.

"Misogyny is hatred or strong prejudice against women. The word comes from the Greek words μίσος (misos, "hatred") + γυνη (gunê, "woman"). Compared with anti-woman sexism or misandry (hatred or fear 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."

Answer 5

Answer 6

Personally I would use the same word for both a man or a woman (as in 'racist') - but someone else more erudite that me may know better...
