Misogyny is far too gentle a term.
A phobia is not just a fear -- feeling creeped out when you walk into a spider web is rational/
burning down the house because you saw a dust bunny that might have been a spider is an
irrational fear (
arachnophobia).
In the patriarchy, a real Alpha -- or even a normal human -- has no reason to fear half the planet. Yet, they do.
They kill women.
The cause serious physical and mental harm to women.
That's genocide, by definition.
"Misogyny" just doesn't describe that adequately.
