Warning! This is a very stupid post, even for me.

This am purty cool about derivations of gyny, the trail reaching backwards to 'gwen':

ENTRY: gwen-
DEFINITION: Woman. 1. Suffixed form *gwen--. a. quean, from Old English cwene, woman, prostitute, wife, from Germanic *kwenn-; b. banshee, from Old Irish ben, woman; c. zenana, from Persian zan, woman. 2. Suffixed lengthened-grade form *gwn-i-. queen, from Old English cwn, woman, wife, queen, from Germanic *kwniz. 3. Suffixed zero-grade form *gw--. –gyne, gyno-, –gynous, –gyny; gynecocracy, gynecology, gynoecium, from Greek gun, woman. (Pokorny gn 473.)

The transmutations and fabrications are endless! Just think...Guineviere, Queen Guineviere could be thought of as 'Queen Queenviere"--or even "Gun Gunviere," a shot in the dark and then another one, too.

And, if misogyny, is hatred of gyny, and gyny can be shown to be derived from "gun," why, then, a misogynist could be a person who hates guns. Terrific! And hates cwns, too! And queens! And wives! And banshees! So much hatred! So little time!
