Misogyny

Misogyny and Sexism are two different things. While sexism is the hatred of women, misogyny is a branch out that describes the ideology that women can’t do some things or are different in any way than a man is. For example, when a man (or woman) says that women should submit to men in a relationship, that is misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that women aren’t as smart as a man, that is misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that women do not deserve the right to vote, that is sexism. However, human anatomy is not misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that men are naturally stronger than women, that is human anatomy and should not be classified as misogyny or sexism, because the male body is bigger and bulkier. When a man (or woman) says that a woman is more emotional than a man because of her period, that is misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that the only thing women can do is take care of children and a house, that is both misogynistic and sexist. These are just a couple of examples, and there are many more ways to be misogynistic or sexist. If you have a sexist or misogynistic mindset, I recommend working it out, because they are both wrong. Women and men should have the same rights, but they don’t.
“Man sometimes my mom asks me to clean my room and like that’s not something I should be doing, ‘cause she’s a woman and I’m a man.” -Classic cishet white rich boy

“Actually man, that’s really giving misogyny. You should apologize, because that’s just rude of you.” -Cool cishet white rich boy

“Uh- Uwa- wha- b-but the- the… the bible says otherwise! It says that women should submit to men and stuff, so why am I the one in the wrong. Plus, my dad says stuff like that all the time so it’s fine.” -Classic cishet white rich boy

“Thats, like, really uncool. You guys are using religion as an excuse to control women, and giving everyone with your faith a bad name. Maybe we shouldn’t be friends anymore… I can’t be seen with someone so insecure they have to put others down in order to add a little to their ego. That’s like, embarrassing, man.” -Cool cishet white rich boy

Radical misogyny

Radical misogyny, a pervasive form of gender-based discrimination and hatred, is deeply rooted in societal structures and ideologies. It extends beyond individual acts of sexism to encompass systemic oppression, characterized by the infantilization of women—reducing them to simplistic and dependent roles—and the vilification of gender nonconforming and transgender individuals. This form of misogyny manifests in various ways, including violence, dehumanization, and institutionalized inequality, ensuring the subordination and marginalization of women and transgender people across social, political, and economic spheres.
Radical Misogyny has appropriated radical feminism in order to discriminate against and further infantilize women while vilifying transgender folks.

Misogyny

Hatred of women and thinking of them as second-class citizens (commodities) often confused by women for men having opinions which conflict women's opinion such as right to education or right to hate men.
Also used as a word by women when they're arguing with men and run out of baseless arguments.

Misogyny

The well deserved fear, distrust, and hatred of women.
My misogyny began during my first marriage. As soon as I put that ring on her finger, she changed for the worst.

A group of Japanese women who enjoy consuming miso soup-based ramen. From Japanese word “miso” + Greek word “gyne”, meaning woman.

Based Misogyny Paradox

The Based Misogyny Paradox refers to the phenomenon where upon taking “misogyny” to its logical end, one necessarily reaches the conclusion—just as a feminist would—that it is actually men who are to blame for every societal ill, due to the female sex’s inescapable dependence on male agency.
Feminist: “Men are responsible for every societal problem!”

Chad: “Yes! Including issues pertaining to modern women!”

Feminist: “Yes! Wait, how do you agree with me on this?”

Chad: “Because I am true misogynist, I have no choice but to blame men for everything.”

Feminist: “Oh f*ck you!”

Chad: “No thanks, you are fat and have blue hair.”

Feminist: *screeches unintelligibly*

misogyny

When a woman says: "When I was a teenager in high school, I often felt like a lot of the guys were really stupid and mean, and some of the girls were skanks."

Then..a man hears the woman and says, "Yeah, I really hate skanks too. I like you because you're not one!"

He says nothing about the first half of the woman's statement.
Misogyny is when a man has total and utter contempt for women, but refuses to acknowledge or speak about the fact that many men might do awful things too. It's when there is an obviously unbalanced view of the two genders, and one is obviously being criticized a lot more than the other, even though both can be deserving of criticism. It's refusing to acknowledge a balanced view of gender issues.
