/mɪˈsɒdʒ.ɪ.ni/ (noun)
Definition
hatred of women expressed by some men who share a special group against women
Example
Misogyny is everywhere. Or at least “misogyny” is everywhere. The word, which conventionally means hatred of women, was once a radical accusation. But recently, it seems to have eclipsed the gentler “sexism” and “chauvinism” in popular use. It’s now unremarkable to find “misogyny” in a headline, much less a tweet.
