Misandry Misandry () is hatred (or contempt) of men or boys. It is parallel to misogyny, the hatred of women. Misandry (μισανδρία) comes from Greek misos (μῖσος, "hatred") and anēr, andros (ἀνήρ, ἀνδρός; "man"). Misandry is also comparable with misanthropy which is the hatred of humanity in general.
