Is there a female equivalent to the
term misogynist (woman hater)?
Myth
Men, as things go, have cornered the market to sexual bigotry as there is no female equivalent to a misogynist.
Reality
Not to be outdone, there is. A female equivalent to a misogynist is a misandrist - a person who hates people of the male sex.
... and who said live wasn't equal.
