Gynophobia is when someone is afraid of women or girls. It's like when you're scared of spiders or the dark, but instead of being scared of those things, someone is scared of girls.
Somebody with gynophobia might feel really nervous when they're around girls or women. They might worry about what they say or how they act around them. And sometimes, they might avoid being around girls altogether so they don't have to feel scared.
It's important to remember that being scared of girls is not a good thing. Girls are just regular people, and there's nothing bad, scary or evil about them. People with gynophobia might need help from a therapist or counselor to start feeling better and less scared around girls.
