What haters of men are
Misogyny is ancient,
Dear Matthew Alice: We know that the hatred of women is “misogyny,” but what is the word for the hatred of men? — Lovers of All, San Diego
An interesting commentary, I’d say, when we all know the term for woman-hating but haven’t a clue about its masculine counterpart. The word isn’t even in most dictionaries. The earliest written use of it dates to 1946, if the Oxford English Dictionary is correct, while “misogyny” is ancient, and even “feminist” is a century old. In this era of “extreme-speak,” when ink and air time are held hostage by the outrageous and close-minded, your favorite trend-slave, M.A., feels obligated to further polarize the masses by answering this question. Anyway, if “misogyny” is the hatred of women, then “misandry” is the hatred of men (andro-, male). If you’re an equal-opportunity sorehead and can’t stand anybody, regardless of gender, that’s “misanthropy.” The hatred of Matthew Alice is “misguided.”
