Misogyny

Misogyny is when someone does not like women and treats them badly because of their gender. A person who is misogynistic will often express opinions, thoughts, or say things that are negative about women in hopes of belittling them or making them feel bad. Misogyny often makes women feel like they are unequal to men and not as valuable. Misogyny can show up in many different ways, from verbal insults to physical abuse.
