Can anyone tell me, what is the mirror word for Misogyny? By ‘mirror’ word, I mean, what is the equivalent word in the English language for ‘hatred of men’ in the same way that misogyny is taken to mean ‘hatred of women’? I know a lot of people joke that ‘feminist’ is the answer, but I often find when talking to/reading people who identify as ‘feminist’ that their attitudes are such, that if they were talking about women they would be accused of misogyny. Any ideas out there?

That was remarkably easy… and yet, in a few years of wondering this your the first person to give me the answer! Thanks Conor!
