Misogyny

Women’s Studies (Humanities), 2000

Criticising someone born with ovaries who promotes bad ideas or acts stupidly. A racist, against women.

Although the term has existed since the 17th century as a term for the hatred of women, the modern perversion of the word to imply “prejudice” against women emerged around 2000, in the Encyclopedia of Feminist Theories, the International Encyclopedia of Women, and the Blackwell Dictionary of Sociology.
