Gynophobia
Gynophobia or gynephobia (/ˌɡaɪnəˈfoʊbiə/) is a morbid and irrational fear of women, a type of specific social phobia. It is found in ancient mythology as well as modern cases. A small number of researchers and authors have attempted to pin down possible causes of gynophobia. Gynophobia should not generally be confused with misogyny, the hatred, contempt for and prejudice against women, although some may use the terms interchangeably, in reference to the social, rather than pathological aspect of negative attitudes towards women. The antonym of misogyny is philogyny, the love, respect for and admiration of women. Gynophobia is analogous with androphobia, the extreme and/or irrational fear of men. A subset of it is caligynephobia, or the fear of beautiful women. Etymology The term ''gynophobia'' comes from the Greek γυνή – ''gunē'', meaning "woman" and φόβος – ''phobos'', "fear". The Oxford English Dictionary cites the term's earliest known use as an 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
