plural viriphobias
Definition of viriphobia
: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against masculinity or manhood or what is deemed as "traditional masculinity"
//as well as the social desire to view male virility within
boys and men as overtly aggressive, harmful, or dangerous to other people without reasonable or just cause. As in so many areas of our
society, divisions are drawn in black and
white; there are no shades of gray. Viriphobia phobia is countered by homophobia and/or misandry; the empty answer to
man-bashing is a vow to bash back.
