Subject: RE: BS: Need a word From: MGM·Lion Date: 13 Dec 12 - 11:42 PM No, not 'misanthropic', which is opposite of 'philanthropic' ~~ i.e 'hating/loving humanity as a whole', rather than either half of it defined by gender. 'Misandry' is indeed the correct term, backformed on a Greek basis from 'misogyny'. The odd thing is that was so rcently formed. I suppose simply man-hater/ing' must have been its predecessor. ~M~ |

' The definition given doesn't make clear if mysogyny means hatred etc of women by men only or by all. |

Subject: RE: BS: Need a word From: Mr Happy Date: 15 Dec 12 - 05:52 AM The antonym of misogyny is philogyny, the love or fondness of women. Put me down for that one!! |
