Misandry

Misandry is the negative attitude or prejudice directed specifically towards men or boys. It involves feelings of hatred, disdain, or unfair treatment based on gender. Like misogyny, which targets women, misandry can influence social behaviors, stereotypes, or policies that unfairly diminish or marginalize men. It can manifest in individual beliefs, media portrayals, or cultural norms, and contributes to gender-based biases and conflicts. Recognizing misandry helps promote gender equality by addressing unfair biases and fostering respectful understanding between genders.
