Misandry

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Misandry, similar to misogyny, means hating a certain gender and misandry means hating men.[1][2] It is a type of misanthropy but against males. A misandrist is a person who hates men. They may hate men because they believe there is something wrong with them, such as being stupid, dirty, inferior or/and evil.[3] A society or a system that sets women above men is called matriarchy.[4][5]

Misandry is a form of sexism, which is based on hate. Misandry can include violence or discrimination against men.
