Misogyny

Misogyny stems from Ancient Greek and refers to contempt or hatred against women. The female gender is assigned less value than the male gender. Women are subordinated to men. Misogyny can be found in all areas of life, from personal to societal levels, and appears in various forms and in varying degrees. People of all genders, no matter whether female, male or diverse, may have internalized misogyny through their social upbringing, resulting in a hostile attitude towards women.
