Misogyny is a deep-seated dislike or prejudice against women. It manifests in various forms, from subtle microaggressions to overt acts of violence. This harmful ideology has pervaded societies for centuries, shaping gender roles, limiting women’s opportunities, and perpetuating inequality.

  • Sexual orientation
  • Ethnicity
