misogynist
This term carries a heavy pejorative weight, typically used to describe a deep-seated ideological hatred or a systemic prejudice rather than a simple personal dislike. It often implies a belief in the inherent inferiority of women or a desire to maintain patriarchal dominance through hostility.
While the adjective form describes specific behaviors or views, the noun form labels the individual, often serving as a social or political condemnation. It is frequently employed in academic, legal, and social justice discourses to categorize specific patterns of discriminatory behavior.
Meanings
