philogyny

This term functions as the direct semantic opposite of misogyny. It describes a positive orientation toward women, ranging from a general philosophical appreciation of the feminine to a specific emotional fondness. While it is often used in academic or sociological discourse to describe a corrective stance against prejudice, it can occasionally carry a connotation of idealized or romanticized views of women.

As an abstract noun denoting a state of mind or a philosophical disposition, this word is uncountable. It does not have a plural form and cannot be used with a number; instead, it requires partitive constructions such as a sense of philogyny or an instance of philogyny if one needs to specify a particular occurrence.
