Misandry

Misandry, sometimes called androphobia, is the hatred of men, for being men. While usually ascribed to women, it is also possible for males themselves to be misandrist. Unlike misogyny (a pathological aversion towards women), misandry has been little discussed or investigated.

Within those who research and study misandry, there are various schools of thought. Some masculists maintain that misandry has been rampant for thirty years, maintaining feminist advocacy has become widespread popular culture, and thus misandry has become a social pathology. On the other hand, a marginal number of feminists find misogyny to be a social disease but are skeptical of the current condition of misandry.

More popular is the view (held by a large number of both feminists and masculists) that the "war of the sexes" arising from traditional gender roles is the considerably powerful source of both misogyny and misandry.
