Problem
Misogyny
Other Names:
Woman-hatingGynophobia
Nature:
The distrust and dislike of women, by either sex, has a long individual and social history. It is not surprising, in the light of psychiatric considerations, that many persons having this tendency express it subconsciously. This makes misogyny much less visible, resulting in its persistence as an obstacle to full experience of the natural emotions and as a factor in social injustice to women.
