noun
1. Hatred of women.
"I’m pretty sure all of us have been told at one point or another, after taking down someone who perpetuates any one of a sea of -isms, “don’t be so sensitive.” When I was a kid that cowed me. I was afraid of being perceived as weak and hysterical (ah, internalized misogyny!), and as everyone well knows, sensitive is but one step down the dangerous path of unchecked (and feminine!) emotion." - Ailanthus-altissima*
Synonyms: bias, bigotry, chauvinism, inequality, inequity, patriarchy, partiality, prejudice.
