Misandrist: A woman or man who hates or is prejudiced against men.
Misogynist: A woman or man who hates or is prejudiced against women. This is a different term, as it describes hating women, not men.
Misanthrope: A person who dislikes or hates all people in general.
First, my views on Misandry. Misandry is the hatred of or prejudice against men or boys; technically, it can be directed at a man or a woman. Men's rights activists (MRAs) and other masculinist groups have characterized modern laws concerning divorce, domestic violence, conscription, and circumcision (known as male genital mutilation by opponents). In addition, they consider the treatment of male rape victims as an example of institutional misandry. However, in virtually all societies, misandry lacks institutional and systemic support comparable to misogyny, the hatred of women.
Okay, so what's everyone's view? Not in the sense of what is or isn't in the real world, but how you'd use these in a story?
I'm tinkering around with the idea of a serial killer who hates men and boys and kills them. More specifically, a salt-and-pepper detective team is investigating the serial killer. They are also a man-and-woman team. Both have ideas about the sex and reason behind the murders, divided on the sex and race of the killer. The black woman agent believes it's a white man because the victims are white. The white man thinks the killer is a black woman. The black woman is a Misandrist and the white man is a Misanthrope, hating everyone on Earth.
