Page "Misogyny" Paragraph 97

In feminist theory, misogyny is a negative attitude towards women as a group, and so need not fully determine a misogynist's attitude towards each individual woman.

The fact that someone holds misogynist views may not prevent him or her from having positive relationships with some women.

Conversely, simply having negative relationships with some women does not necessarily mean someone holds misogynistic views.

The term, like most negative descriptions of attitudes, is applied to a wide variety of behaviors and attitudes.
