Misogynists are villains who have hatred or contempt for women. It can be physical or emotional abuse specifically towards women, or it may be a deep-rooted prejudice against them. A misogynist may see girls and women as evil, debased or even subhuman and mere objects (though they may make certain exceptions, like with their mothers). The level of misogyny can vary from merely a sexist attitude (chauvinism) to outright murder (or even engage in serial killing). It is also not uncommon for them to be perverts, rapists, pimps, etc.

Although most are males since they are the other gender, it is possible for females to be misogynists as well if they mostly hate those of their own gender but consider themselves the exception. If so, they contradict the hatred they announce and also qualify as Hypocrites unless they are more nihilistic or sadomasochistic where they can discriminate themselves too. The opposing counterpart of Misogynists is Misandrists, those who hate men, however in rare cases they can overlap. Their opposite is Feminists.

Good examples of misogynists include Mayor Richfuxx, Chef Cochon, and Duncan Gree.

Important Notes[]

• Just because a villain keeps harming women or a woman for reasons other than gender repeatedly does not make them a misogynist. They only count if they harm women for their gender.
• A villain who just hates humanity as a whole is not a misogynist either and should go into Misanthropes instead. However, a misanthrope can still be a misogynist if they harbor a special hatred, disdain or mistreat for women.
• Magnificent Baddies can never be Misogynists nor Misandrists, because hating people because of their gender is inherently unjust. This doesn't mean their sexism can come from a sympathetic cause, but it will make audiences dislike them more.
• Due to obvious reasons, they are xenophobes as they discriminate others.
