Talk:Misogyny

Add and link Manosphere page under Online misogyny section

With the recent growth of the Manosphere and the research into the impacts it has on Misogyny , I believe adding information about the Manosphere and linking to the Wikipedia Manosphere page under the Online Misogyny section would be notable and beneficial for this page.

Misogyny has been widely practised for thousands of years.

The sources for this claim are clearly cited in the article. ~Sangdeboeuf (talk) 19:49, 26 March 2026 (UTC) (non-admin closure) The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Go down the article body, the Origins section, and you'll see the sources. Binksternet (talk) 13:11, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

You mean the fact that certain writers spoke unflatteringly about women? The same could be said about misandry then, right? ~2025-40926-24 (talk) 15:02, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Violence against women is an example of misogyny?

Does that mean that violence against men, or the belief that violence may only be acceptable when used against men, is an example of Misandry? Matan82 (talk) 16:02, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

@Matan82 violence against women is a manifestation of misogyny. Note that violence against women does not mean any violence done where a woman is a victim. EvergreenFir (talk) 16:29, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Agatha Christie usage in books

It says in the article that the work misogyny was rarely used until the second wave of feminism in the 1970s. But Agatha Christie fairly frequently uses it in her books written in the 1920s and 1930s. Her usage is slightly different to the modern usage as she generally uses it to describe men who much prefer the company of other men in men's clubs etc. rather than men who are violent against women. They are usually upper class ex public school British military officer types. ~2026-50409-69 (talk) 10:25, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
