WHAT DOES MISANDROUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Misandry

Misandry /mɪˈsændri/ is the hatred, dislike, contempt for or ingrained prejudice against men and/or boys. Misandry can be manifested in numerous ways that have their parallel in misogyny including sexual discrimination, denigration of men, violence against men, and sexual objectification of men. Warren Farrell has written of how men are uniquely marginalized in what he calls their "disposability," the manner in which the most dangerous of societies' jobs throughout history, particularly soldiering, have been performed by men. The female counterpart of misandry is misogyny, the hatred or dislike of women; the antonym of misandry is philandry, the love or fondness of men.
