What is misogyny

Answer

Misogyny is a cultural attitude of hatred for females because they are female[2]. It is a form of discrimination and prejudice that goes beyond sexism and often manifests in overt and bold ways[3]. It is an attitude that develops due to experiences, upbringing, social influences, and cultural norms[3].

Misogyny often leads to violence against women, including domestic violence, femicide, and misogynist terrorism in its most extreme forms[2]. It can also be covert and insidious, appearing in seemingly harmless language or jokes but subtly diminishing the respect and worth of women[8]. It is important to note that misogyny can also exist in and be practiced by women against other women or even themselves[2].
