That is a not well formulated question. A misogynist is somebody who Hates women, there for, a misogynist could also be a woman, it is not a term that designates the person female or male, it is gender neutral, other than the fact the person hates "women". A Feminist is many things, but has nothing to do with hating people. It has to do with empowerment, choice, and equality. The media and various other groups of people have as a whole demonized feminism and feminists to be lesbian man hatters. Lesbianism has nothing to do with hating men, and either does feminism. I suppose a person could be a feminist and might hate men, but in general, feminism isn't about hating. I became a feminist after being raped twice and sexually abused another handful of times in other ways. It was something that gave me the strength I needed to go on with my life. If I am a bad person for finding strength in that, then the rest of the world can go fuck itself. I will not apologize for my choices and belief systems, and I will not sit by and allow peoples ignorance turn my strength into something evil.
