I have had a linguistic lapse! :( A misogynist hates women. What is its opposite, i.e. the word for someone who hates men?

Hello annabel, welcome. You did not have a linguistic lapse. Tsuwm deals in worthless words and the word "misandrist" is seldom used. Because in this modern world, men are not much hated. There are exceptions, of course. -  -

Annabel, dear, I'm pleased to be the first woman to respond to your post. Welcome (the official welcoming committee from Oz will be along later). Indeed, while you find many misandrists in this world, they do not usually act out their hate like the misogynists do.  Hence the infrequency of the word. [double ]

I think that misandrists frequently do act out their feelings but in a different manner. Examples of subtle misandry are to be found everywhere.

True enough, Alex, but they don't usually break your teeth in the process.

they don't usually break your teeth in the process.Quite true, AS; they, metaphorically speaking, aim lower.  Good to have you here, Annabel. Say, didn't Poe write about you? Aren't you dead?

I hope you said that Poe-faced, Geoff. Annabel may become a little decomposed over your remark otherwise ... *&^%%*&@# ...sorry, just a little coffin-fit.

re:they, metaphorically speaking, aim lower
Mmmm, let me think about this?
would i rather be subjet to cutting remarks? or a left cut to the jaw?
do i need to think about this? its big news when a woman physical attacks a man (see lorraina bobit) it doesn't even make the inside of section 2, when a man hits a woman..
but, hey, woman tend to be better with verbal skill, and she might get lippy.. oh, yeah..
[rant].. maybe we'll find one woman on the board who hasn't had at least one man in her life who left bruises.-- most likely not the man she is with now.. but sometime, somewere along the way.. Nice middle class, college educated, men, with master's degrees-- but somehow (it always the woman's fault) some how, the woman in their lives end up with bruises..[/rant]
