A misogynist is a person who harbors or expresses strong prejudice against women, often manifesting as contempt, discrimination, or demeaning behavior. The term is used to describe attitudes or actions that degrade women as a group, typically reflecting patriarchal biases. In discourse, it labels beliefs rather than diagnosing a medical condition, and it can be reclaimed or reframed in critical contexts. (2–4 sentences, 50–80 words)
