I learned a new word yesterday.

I am shocked that I never thought to question what the counterpart to misogynist is. Both misogyny and misandry are pretty easy to spot but it never occurred to me to give the dislike of men a name. Now I am thinking myself into a circle of over thinking.
Is it misandrist of me to think that misogyny is more commonly experienced in society.
Thankfully my second new word of the day is much easier to get my head around.

Goodness I love biomimicry. Yesterday a friend was knitting with variegated knitting wool,which was the exact shade of fallen autumn leaves. At the time she was sitting under this piece of art.

These were exactly the colours of the day yesterday.

Two new words in one day!

both are such interesting words, and like you, I never considered the counterpart to misogynist. while it is a real thing, I’d say the reason misogynist feels more relevant is because of the historical and ongoing power inequity, with men having the power, (and resistance from women being responded to with punishment), that has existed and was accepted for so long, and continues to be accepted in many places.
