fear of women--gynophobia
fear of men--androphobia
But when it comes to women fearing men, it more often has to do with distrust. When it comes to men fearing women, it quite often has to do with awkwardness.

Historically men are more well-known socially as intending to spread their seed as many times as possible before dying or becoming too old. All the while, women were expected to respect their alliance to one man, their husband. Obviously this is a double-standard, and we have come very far, but some of these public opinions are still highly popular in a lot of cultures. Sad but true.

What is an Internet Troll/ Forum troll?
An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.
A classic CureZone troll is trying to make us believe that he is a skeptic. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, "searching for the truth", flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him. Troll is usually an expert in reusing the same words of its opponents and in turning it against them.
While he tries to present himself as a skeptic looking for truth ... his messages usually sound as if it is the responsibility of other forum members to provide evidence that what forum is all about is legitimate science.
Sometimes, Internet troll is trying to spin conflicting information, is questioning in an insincere manner, flaming discussion, insulting people, turning people against each other, harassing forum members, ignoring warnings from forum moderators.
Trolling is a form of harassment that can take over a discussion. Well meaning defenders can create chaos by responding to trolls. The best response is to ignore it, or to report a message to a forum moderator. CureZone moderators usually delete troll messages or block trolls. Negative emotions stirred up by trolls leak over into other discussions. Normally affable people can become bitter after reading an angry interchange between a troll and his victims, and this can poison previously friendly interactions between long-time users.
Finally, trolls create a paranoid environment, such that a casual criticism by a new arrival can elicit a ferocious and inappropriate backlash.
When trolls are ignored they step up their attacks, desperately seeking the attention they crave. Their messages become more and more foul, and they post ever more of them. Alternatively, they may protest that their right to free speech is being curtailed. Perhaps the most difficult challenge for a webmaster is deciding whether to take steps against a troll that a few people find entertaining. Some trolls do have a creative spark and have chosen to squander it on being disruptive. There is a certain perverse pleasure in watching some of them. Ultimately, though, the webmaster has to decide if the troll actually cares about putting on a good show for the regular participants, or is simply playing to an audience of one -- himself.
Next time you are on a message board and you see a post by somebody whom you think is a troll, and you feel you must reply, simply write a follow-up message entitled "Troll Alert" and type only this:
The only way to deal with trolls is to limit your reaction and not to respond to rolling messages. It is well known that most people don't read messages that nobody responds to, while 99% of forum visitors first read the longest and the largest threads with the most answers.
Troll Message is an outrageous message posted to a message board, newsgroup or mailing list to bait people to answer.

Do you feel that ache in your head? It's your brain trying to contemplate it's own stupidity. Do you feel that ache in your crotch? It's your penis shriveling from the realization that you will never get laid.

It's probably closer to gynophobia. Or just straight up being a pussy/wussy/wimp.

ahaha... oh you're so funny and clever, I just might kill you.
I think the fear of men like you is called swineophobia.

Awww...aren't you cute. I promise, once you pass third grade, you won't find girls so "stinky", and you won't think they have "Cooties" any more, either.
BTW, does your mom know you're on the computer?
