Confusables Note

Misandry (meaning “hatred of menâ€) was originally considered the converse of its counterpart, misogyny (“hatred of womenâ€). This is no longer the case. While misandry has retained its original meaning, misogyny has broadened in meaning to cover an additional sense involving sexism (see the word story at misogyny ( def ) ).
