Misogyny

Misogyny is the hatred/contempt of women. Classical examples of misogyny include the Greek mythological belief that man lived as one with the Gods before the creation of women and the Judeo-Christian tradition of the "fall of man" as result of woman (Eve). In its most overt form, a misogynist will dislike women simply because they are women. However, misogyny can include subtler forms such as prejudice against women and dislike for women who do not fit into "acceptable" categories.
