13->''"I'm sorry, Wendy, but I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die."''
14-->-- '''Mr. Garrison''', ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut''
15
16The partial [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to DoesNotLikeMen, this is when one of a character's major defining [[StrawMisogynist traits is their hatred of women]].
17
18This trope is played for laughs more often than not -- often a part of the UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist or the ButtMonkey's personalities. In earlier works a character's outright fear of women was treated as a running gag. Dramatic protagonists who don't like women usually [[HatesEveryoneEqually don't like other men that much more.]] Perpetrators in {{Crime Drama}}s will often have this as the root rationale for their crimes against women.
19
20[[DoesNotLikeMen Women who don't like men]] will [[DoubleStandard often be portrayed sympathetically]], but members of this trope are usually written to either receive CharacterDevelopment or be a one-dimensional StrawMisogynist. This mentality exists because there is a long history of women being viewed as second-class citizens throughout many cultures in RealLife. However, this approach can result in a misogynist being seen as UnintentionallySympathetic, and/or a misandrist being seen as UnintentionallyUnsympathetic, by the audience. This becomes especially so if the latter [[DisproportionateRetribution takes their dislike of men too far]] while still being treated as a victim by the narrative.
21
22The TropeNamer in this case is ''Film/TheLittleRascals''[[note]][[ThisIndexIsNotAnExample who aren't actually an example of this trope]][[/note]], who held meetings of the "He-Man Woman Haters Club" on more than one occasion, including the [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleRascals animated episode]] "Beauty Queen for a Day".
23
24If the male in question hasn't hit puberty yet, that's GirlsHaveCooties. Compare CelibateHero (considers women a distraction), PoliticallyIncorrectHero (good guy with bad views), EffeminateMisogynisticGuy (usually where the gay examples of this trope fall), FemaleMisogynist (women who hate women), and StrawMisogynist (hates women, AndThatsTerrible). [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] a (nonexistent) ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'' spinoff about the titular hero being an example of this trope (for the record, '''none''' of his official incarnations are this).

27!!Examples:
28[[foldercontrol]]
29
30[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
31* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' has Wyald, an ape-like apostle who thinks that women's sole purpose on the planet is to be walking objects that men can have sex with, [[RapeAsDrama whether they have a choice or not.]] Interesting in that this trope is played quite disturbingly, while a previous antagonistic character, [[StrawMisogynist General Adon]], was played more humorously.
32* Nnoitra from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' is highly misogynistic, which is part of the cause of his rivalry with Nel -- he didn't want to believe that a woman was stronger than he was [[spoiler:to the point that he banded together with Szayelaporro to cause her to "disappear," reverting her to an amnesiac in a little girl's body taken out of Las Noches by her own fracción.]] He also calls Orihime a "pet" and at one point mocks fellow Espada Halibel. Presumably, the reason he doesn't hate ''her'' as much as he hates Nel is because Halibel wouldn't show him mercy. Nel did, and that's the [[DontYouDarePityMe other part]] of why he hates her so much.
33* The driving force of the manga ''Manga/BoysKingdom''. The main character is the only female student in a school that only just became co-ed, and her love interest and the student council president is an extreme misogynist.
34* Mamura from ''Manga/DaytimeShootingStar'' dislikes women, his reasons being "90% because they're annoying, 10% because I don't understand them". Later we learn that since his parents divorced he barely sees his mother, so he doesn't know women very well.
35* He won't admit it out loud as to not spoil his [[TheAce perfect image,]] but Light Yagami from ''Manga/DeathNote'' really does not like women. Even when they're willing to do anything for him, as is the case with Misa and Takada, women just irritate him and he bemoans how they're irrational and can't do anything right. When Misa tackles him out of excitement, he coldly thinks about how he wants to hit her, and the act he puts on of being her boyfriend is distinctly lacking in anything tender or romantic. The author of the manga has even stated that Light could never love a woman, which many fans interpret as [[WordOfGay confirmation that he's gay.]]
36* Yamato starts out this way (but gets better) in ''The Diet Goddess'', due to having previously spent all his savings on a woman he liked, only to have her dump him and break his heart. He takes out his anger on Shoko, most likely because she's a girl around his age.
37--> '''Yamato:''' Feh. All women are alike.
38* Heine from ''Manga/DogsBulletsAndCarnage'' is terrified of women, and being around them triggers a berserk rage in him (whether this is the reason for his fear or his fear causes the rage is vague), which seems to stem from his past, which involved him [[spoiler:being biologically modified by a female MadScientist, and eventually killing his "sister" during one of his berserk fits]]. The only females in the cast he can handle being around are Nill, a very cute, meek, unimposing mute girl he helped to rescue, and Naoto, but only from a distance.
39* Taiga from ''Manga/DreaminSun'' claims to dislike women, but it's because he doesn't feel comfortable near them and upon further interactions with female protagonist Shimana turns out to be more of a {{Tsundere}}.
40* Exaggerated for Laughs in ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' by Issei. Whereas his distrust towards Rin in ''Fate/stay night'' is based off instinctual wariness of her facade, here he [[HoYay pretty much dislikes all women for trying to get so close to Shirou.]]
41* Tasuki from ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' constantly claims he ''hates'' girls. He does end up warming up to -- and falling for -- Miaka as the story progresses, though... which naturally adds all the more fuel to the accusation that Miaka is a PuritySue.
42** That, and he doesn't hate women ''per se'', but had bad experiences with his ''five'' older sisters.
43* Zorzal from ''Literature/{{Gate}}'' is this taken to its most horrific logical extreme. He views women as so pathetically inferior to men, not to mention to himself, that the only thing he likes about them is that he can enslave them and then brutally rape them whenever he pleases. He is so utterly humiliated by his hand-picked Praetorian guard getting slaughtered, and himself being utterly brutalized by Shino Kuribayashi, after he threatened to burn Japan to the ground (because the JSDF dared to take back a Japanese citizen he kidnapped and enslaved), that he fervently lies about it to everyone, including himself. Further, [[spoiler:when he takes the throne]], he enslaves his own sister, Piña, for not worshiping his ego, has her stripped naked (although the anime clothes her with rags), and throws her in the room belonging to his "favorite slave" (read: the one he rapes and brutalizes most often), to "await her sentence."
44* Yukinari from ''Manga/GirlsBravo'', due to a really bad history with women brought about by his shortness and a temperamental next door neighbor girl; he gets hives all over his body whenever a female so much as gets near him. Woe is him when he finds himself in LadyLand...
45* Main character Shingo Chiryuu in the manga ''Manga/GirlsSaurus'' is scared to death of women after being brutally beaten and hospitalized by an incredibly [[FatBastard obese]] female classmate of his, Haruka Nishiharu (who later shows up again... as a beautiful yet brutal {{Tsundere}}, after having to go into a severe diet). The series in general is a {{gender flip}}ped, PlayedForLaughs version of ''Manga/BitterVirgin'' (where female lead Hinako DoesNotLikeMen because of her RapeAsDrama background), mainly because they're by the same person, Kusonoki Kei.
46* Tousei Aoi from ''Manga/HaikaraSanGaTooru'', who dislikes women because of a FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:his BrainlessBeauty mom all but abandoned him and has serious issues towards women because of that.]] He does, however, warm up to [[spoiler:and later falling for]] Benio, who is the only woman he truly trusts.
47* Senoo from ''Manga/HokenshitsuNoShinigami'' due to being raised with four borderline abusive sisters and [[InvisibleParents no parents around]] to rein them in.
48* In ''Manga/InitialD Extra Stage'', an unnamed member of the Emperor racing team challenges Mako and Sayuki to a race, declaring that since they're women, they lack the skill and the mental composition to beat him. After they accept his challenge with a clear case of TranquilFury, he sets out in his vehicle, confident he'll win...only for the pair of women to claim victory when they take on the course's most difficult corner without breaking a sweat while the challenger crashes into the outside rail. He's so ashamed of losing to a female racing team that he tells one of his colleagues not to tell their leader about it.
49* Kojiro Sakai, fighter pilot aboard the ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor's'' ship the ''Soyokaze'', is highly gynophobic, warming up only reluctantly to the twins Emi and Yumi Hanner.
50* Oscar Reuental from ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'' is extremely misogynistic and dislikes women due to [[FreudianExcuse abandonment issues with his mother]], a trait he expresses by being a big-time TheCasanova. This sharply contrasts his best friend and {{Heterosexual Life Partner|s}} Mittenmeyer, who is HappilyMarried.
51* ''Literature/MayoChiki'': Main character Kinjiro Sakamichi has a big case of gynophobia, to the point that being touched by a woman causes him to nosebleed. This is not helped by the fact that his sister likes to practice painful wrestling moves on him.
52* Leo, a former GiantMook who underwent a pseudo-HeelFaceTurn in the {{Western}} [[ShoujoDemographic Shōjo]] manga ''Manga/{{Miriam}}'', dislikes women so much he's practically enraged when one so much as ''talks'' to him. Miriam constructs an elaborate imaginary backstory for him that, in her mind, would excuse his behavior, which involves several groups of women (his sisters, his female co-workers, his sisters-in-law, etc.) taking advantage of him for his entire life. While her story is farfetched, his attempts at explaining himself, which amount to "they're noisy, and if you deal with them, they cry, and you still can't fight them..." suggest ''something'' along those lines might've actually happened to him, even though he's never been married and doesn't have any sisters.
53* Yazan Gable from ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' always hates seeing women on the battlefield
54** There's also Chang Wufei of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', who held women in deep contempt, considering them weak and inferior. Though his attitude softens ''a bit'' after working alongside {{Action Girl}}s Sally Po and Lucrezia Noin.
55*** The [[AllThereInTheManual side story]] manga "Episode Zero" implies that this is half because of his ''very'' traditional Chinese-based raising, half a side-effect of [[spoiler:him being a ''widower'' at age 14. Yes, Wufei and the local CuteBruiser Meiran got hitched through an ArrangedMarriage and she ultimately got killed off.]] [[spoiler:Ironically, she died fighting off an invasion force, while Wufei preferred to focus on his studies.]]
56** Muruta Azrael in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' has some traits of this. He expresses surprise upon discovering that Natarle Badgiruel is female, and refers to her condescendingly as "Ms. Captain", while simultaneously coming on to her. He treats both she and her BridgeBunnies as though they were idiots, and is the only character in the entire series to refer to a woman/girl as a bitch.
57* Shikamaru from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is notorious for his view on women being troublesome and bossy, due to the women in his life (i.e. his mother Yoshino and his friends Temari and Ino, all of them {{Tsundere}}) and the fact that he fights only women in Part I. Despite his view, he has an interest in marriage and raising a family. Ironically, the woman he eventually fulfilled this desire with was the aforementioned [[spoiler:Temari]].
58* Aicho from the shonen manga ''Manga/{{Ninku}}'', especially towards Rihoko.
59* Vincent from ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' absolutely ''hates'' women, citing them as weak and superficial and claiming that he only has to sleep with them in order to bend them to his will. His misogyny may very well stem from [[spoiler:his hatred of his mother, who abandoned him and Gil because of his heterochromia, and [[AxCrazy Miranda Barma]], who lied to him about how he could save his brother and then used him to cause the Tragedy of Sablier, a betrayal which ''still'' traumatizes him]].
60* Ryuunosuke in ''Literature/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'' is gynophobic.
61* Husky the fish-boy, from the manga ''Manga/PlusAnima'' is, admittedly, only 10-years-old, but he still doesn't care much for girls. Maybe it's because he was forced to crossdress to make a meager living for longer than he'd care to say, or maybe because of a rough experience with an all-girl gang in one of the early chapters (where he lost his most prized possession), but when the bat-girl Nana tried to join the group, he objected rather violently, and said that he hates girls. He eventually softened up... a little. But he still gives Nana grief for being "such a girl" despite being very, very girly himself, and so feminine that he's frequently mistaken for a girl by women and men alike.
62** It's actually later revealed that [[spoiler:he's a member of the Royal family of Sailand, whose king has a RoyalHarem, and the reason he became a + Anima is that one of the other queens was jealous of the love the king had for his mother and that Husky was chosen as Crown Prince instead of her son, so she pushed him into a pond knowing he couldn't swim. He hates women because he sees them as completely petty and shallow with the exception of his mother and later Nana...maybe.]]
63* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'':
64** Naofumi, who ironically was introduced as a HaremSeeker, becomes this after a woman he trusted accused him of raping her, turning him into a social pariah. He learns to slowly grow out of it as he meets more honest women.
65** We later get another case with [[spoiler:Motoyasu Kitamura]], who ends up going through nearly the '''[[LaserGuidedKarma exact same scenario]]''' Naofumi experienced, only he isn't lucky enough to have anybody to [[TrueCompanions truly support him in getting past it]], with [[FalseFriend Malty and the rest of his so-called "companions" abandoning him]] after his and the Sword and Bow Hero's inability to defeat the [[OptionalBoss Spirit Tortoise]] that [[TooDumbToLive they themselves unsealed in a half-assed attempt to fight it in the first place.]] He completely snaps and loses the ability to view women as people, with them all literally looking and sounding like disgusting pigs to him, with the sole exception of [[spoiler:Filo the Filorial]], the only female he's capable of comprehending as a woman. He does eventually get a little better, being able to view some women normally again, but he never regains his ability to trust other women, and the only woman he can ever feel attracted to is [[spoiler:Filo]].
66* The evil Jadeite in the ''Anime/SailorMoon'' anime spontaneously becomes this in his last episode.
67* ''Manga/ShortTemperedMelancholic'' has Takato hate women, because a girl rejected him pretty badly during middle school. [[spoiler:That girl was Minori and she was too shy and embarrassed to answer at all, so she ran away and he merely thought she rejected him.]]
68* Li [[InconsistentSpelling (or sometimes Ri)]] Kouyuu from ''Literature/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'' is constantly teased by his self-proclaimed best friend Ran Shuuei for his hatred of women. Well, he doesn't really ''hate'' them, per se, but the idea of having a romance with one is repulsive to him.
69* Tobimaru Mizunokoji in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' vocally expresses his disdain for girls, especially in his introductory story. However, his attitude is largely shown to be all bark and no bite -- he's served by [[BodyguardBabes a gaggle of female underlings]] and is always polite to them, despite their dubious competence and oft-open contempt for him. It's all but stated to be largely due to the trauma of a childhood where he was constantly tormented by his rival Shutaro Mendo's sadistic little sister Ryoko, with nobody standing up for him when she bullied him because she was a girl and so her antics were handwaved as "cute" and "harmless playing". It doesn't help that in his family, his little sister [[IncestantAdmirer has a shameless crush on him]] (and also tends to [[AndCallHimGeorge break his bones when she hugs him]]) whilst his mother ruthlessly bullies him.
70* ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' has a planet filled with these. The male population has villainized women and the main character Hibiki has a hard time dealing with the females he shares a ship with. At least at first.
71* Yamazaki from ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK'' is one due to a childhood heartbreak. He's convinced that romance is just an artificial concept to profit off of people. However, [[HypocriticalHumor as soon as a girl shows interest in him, he mellows out on his "Go to hell, bitches!" philosophy]].
72* In ''Manga/WildRock'', while he's hardly a misogynist, Yuuen's brother states he just doesn't ''get'' what the deal is about women and prefers hunting to girly stuff. Not long after this, he meets Emba's sister. [[BabiesEverAfter The end result is predictable]].
73* Keima Katsuragi, protagonist of ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'', likes women just fine... as long as they're characters in a DatingSim. Otherwise he openly and proudly has no use for them.
74** An interesting case in that he doesn't like men, either. He [[HatesEveryoneEqually hates everybody]], and thinks only girls in {{Dating Sim}}s are worthwhile.
75[[/folder]]
76
77[[folder:Comic Books]]
78* In a case of DependingOnTheWriter, [[ComicBook/ArchieComics Jughead]] used to sometimes make misogynist comments in the pre-1990s Archie Comics, but started to mellow into being more respectful towards women as the comics went on, with him getting along with most of the female cast, but generally being romantically disinclined (and, in the 2015 reboot, explicitly UsefulNotes/{{asexual}}). He even calls out others on sexist behavior in a few comics.
79* ComicBook/{{Ares|Marvel}} from Creator/MarvelComics doesn't...''hate'' women exactly, but he thinks they're inherently weak and foolish, so much so he refused to allow his son's mother contact with the boy, as her influence would only weaken him.
80* Captain Nemo has hints of this in ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', which causes his daughter to deeply resent him. He later goes through character development that leads to him not only respecting Mina as a member of the team but [[spoiler:having Jenni take over the title of Captain Nemo after he dies]].
81* Ryu in the short-lived ''ComicBook/StreetFighterMalibuComics'' comic calls Chun-Li a mere woman in the middle of a fight.
82* Max from ''Franchise/SamAndMax''. He is always confused when he is occasionally attracted to a woman.
83** Technically, the confusion is Sam saying, "You don't even like girls!" Much as people try to put him in one hole or another, Max is Max, and what he actually thinks about women will forever remain a mystery.
84* Rorschach from ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' dislikes women and all aspects of sex and sexuality. This is due to his rather [[MommyIssues disturbed childhood involving his abusive mother]], who was a [[SonOfAWhore prostitute]], and [[KnightTemplar his rather over-demanding sense of justice]]. Ironically, it is two [[AndThatsTerrible heinous]] crimes against women that affect him most in his life (Kitty Genovese and Blair Roche).
85** Rorschach sees women in [[BlackAndWhiteMorality black and]] [[VisualPun white]], as with everything else in his life. Specifically, he suffers from the MadonnaWhoreComplex, where women are either virgins powered with IncorruptiblePurePureness or worthless evil sluts. Genovese and Roche were the sort of women he was able to idealize as the former, which is why he cared about them. Most of the other women in his life, not so much. The only woman in the story who receives actual words of approval from him is the fellow crime-fighter Silk Spectre. [[spoiler:He does show a slight sign of character growth when he sees his landlady as a whore, but doesn't reference her sexual escapades in front of her children when he's told they don't know about it.]]
86* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
87** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'':
88*** When Diana forces her way into a man's only club in order to disable an explosive device that had been placed there, most of the patrons quickly make it clear they're of this ilk, disgusted with her "masculine" behavior getting past the bouncer while also vocally thinking women are less because of their femininity.
89*** Uvo and his Uranians despise women and have conscripted all of theirs and any they capture in their never-ending war to a life of slavery. He then uses many of those slaves by placing them in his several city-block models of earth cities and then dropping atomic weapons on them to observe the effectiveness of his planned attacks.
90** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': The official dogma of the Sangtee Empire's state church is that women are worthless and should be enslaved or murdered on sight. Not every kreel actually believes this but plenty of the nobility show themselves to. By the time Diana leaves the Empire, the Emperor has abolished the legal practices which make women non-citizens.
91[[/folder]]
92
93[[folder:Comic Strips]]
94* The title character of ''ComicStrip/LilAbner''. Though he may have just been spooked by the overly aggressive women in his life (Mammy, Daisy Mae, Sadie Hawkins) than any real fear of women.
95* A mostly forgotten character on ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' was Thibault, a member of Peppermint Patty's baseball team. He didn't seem to like ''anyone'' much, but he said some rather sexist things to Marcie after Patty convinced her to join the team. Oddly enough, he had no problem with Patty herself, likely because she could hit harder than he could, but this was one of the few times that [[BewareTheQuietOnes Marcie actually got angry and resorted to violence.]]
96[[/folder]]
97
98[[folder:Fan Works]]
99* In the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'', after [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonKingGhidorah Ghidorah]] learns more about humanity via absorbing the memories of [[HiveMind the Many]]'s human victims, the three heads' speech patterns change and Ni (the [[MultipleHeadCase right head]]) specifically starts using words and phrases to refer to females in general in an unsavory light.
100* Jin Guangshan in ''Fanfic/AnAcceptableArrangement'' makes some comments about how a woman is only useful for her face and her figure. Hou Yue is ''not'' amused and makes him apologize to Sun Qiu, whom he'd been insulting.
101* [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]] point-blank tells Creator/LewisCarroll in ''FanFic/AHistoryOfMagic'' that the Incubators deliberately invoke this trope to get men to oppress women since oppressed girls equal girls more willing to take up the Puella Magi mantle. When it starts to backfire by women believing wholeheartedly that they deserve it, he [[spoiler:engineers the publication of ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' to get girls to start dreaming again.]]
102* All men except Vernon Dursley are this in the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' "fan" fic ''Fanfic/HogwartsSchoolOfPrayerAndMiracles''. They are portrayed as very manly (chest hair is mentioned repeatedly) and while Draco Malfoy true to his original characterisation is the only one who openly admits that he hates women, the others are clearly of the opinion that women should stay in the kitchen, too.
103* Yeardley Lobelia from ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' does not like girls, particularly girls who outshine him. He has an older sister in college and a little sister who is adorable and he's neither of these things. So he went into sports that he was proud of...until Chloe Cerise was able to show him up in softball (which is her favorite sport and it's shown that she's had a passion for it since she was younger). This sets up all the motivation Yeardley needs to be a misogynistic bully that leads to Chloe's self-esteem to decrease until she runs away from home. Of course, karma eventually catches up to him when he ''exposes'' how he loved hurting her to Chloe's brother (while unaware that he was being recorded) and then Parker gets to dish out some punishment of his own [[spoiler:when he obtains the powers of the Unown to make a construct of his sister that's just as sadistic and twisted as Yeardley was...]]
104** Simon Laurent doesn't like girls; he can't tolerate Hazel taking away Grace's attention, Tuba (a female gorilla) because she's a loving null partner compared to his partner (The Cat) abandoning him, refuses to listen to Grace (his friend and crutch) when she starts "Deviating" from the path and ''despises'' Chloe (or "Princess") as he calls him. It gets to the point that [[spoiler:he ''murders Chloe and Tuba'' out of spite after he becomes Destruction.]]
105* In the fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10886054/83/Meeting-Grojband Meeting Grojband]]'', an argument between the titular band and their [[DistaffCounterpart distaff counterparts]] the Newmans awakens Masculeseus, the god of boy bands and personification of this trope (as well as his [[DoesNotLikeMen exact opposite]] and sister Feminina). The two gods try to get the bands to do a [[GirlsVsBoysPlot boys vs girls battle of the bands]] to determine who's better; however, when the boys refuse to be separated from their respective female bandmates, Masculeseus forcibly brainwashes them so that they become this trope.
106* The Space Ponies of ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic'' tend to look down on women, as characters like Pinkie Pie is continuously met with scorn for her antics and Rarity, or really any female character who shows concern with their appearance or acts like a proper lady, are constantly judged as snooty divas. The latter is an even more explicit case of this trope as they tend to have no problem with men showing gentlemanly conduct.
107* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': As Vault reveals his true colours after taking over the Black Fortress, so does his distain towards women -- he wants to create a [[SexSlave Sex]] [[TheEmpire Empire]] due to his belief that women should StayInTheKitchen just like [[AppealToTradition "back then"]].
108* Daena's point of view presents Baelor as this in ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5320397/chapters/18743981 A Northern Dragoness]]''. As he locks her away in her bedchamber and refuses to let her interact with anyone except for two or three persons, she may have a point. Forced isolation did such a number on her that she throws herself at Jonnel Stark -- whose father's war heroism entitle to a royal bride -- and begs him to take her baby sister with them at Winterfell, as she cannot stand the idea to leave her behind with a madman.
109[[/folder]]
110
111[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
112* According to [[WordOfGod the website]], ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'''s Mantis does not like hanging around with female members of his own species. Considering their [[OutWithABang mating habits]], [[FurryReminder this is a very]] JustifiedTrope.
113* Grumpy in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''. He begrudges having Snow stay in the Dwarves' home and teases the others for giving in to her charms so easily. He softens up eventually, however, and when word comes that she might be in danger, [[CharacterDevelopment he's the one who leads the charge.]]
114[[/folder]]
115
116[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
117* Played cruelly straight during ''All Night Long 2: Atrocity''. Where the BigBad is a rich, sadistic, homosexual that hates and does horrible things to women, among other things. He even outright says to one victim: "If not for having babies, you'd be completely useless."
118* Sensei from ''Film/TheArtOfSelfDefense'' fits into the [[TestosteronePoisoning toxically masculine]] woman-hater archetype without question, refusing to promote the dojo's best student to a black belt simply because she's not a man.
119* Melvin Udall[[note]]Creator/JackNicholson's character[[/note]] in ''Film/AsGoodAsItGets'' is a {{jerkass}} in general, but this definitely extends to disliking women in particular -- although ironically, his job is as a writer of pulp women's romances. On one occasion he is approached by a female LoonyFan who gushes over his realistic characters, leading to the memorable exchange:
120-->'''Fan:''' How do you write women so well?\
121'''Melvin Udall:''' I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.
122* Billy in ''Film/{{Buffalo 66}}'' claims that he doesn't like women. It's apparently just bitterness over his complete lack of success with the gender. He gets better.
123* ''Film/DeathstalkerIIDuelOfTheTitans'': the main character plays at being this while confronting a group of guards who are in the middle of harassing the heroine. "Ordinarily I don't mind seeing a woman get a good beating, if she deserves it..."
124* John Egan in ''Film/TheGreatStLouisBankRobbery''. As the result of growing with an [[AlcoholicParent alcoholic]] [[AbusiveParents abusive mother]], he despises and distrusts all women. He insists that all of his crew have no involvement with women while TheHeist is happening. When he discovers that George has let slip details of the job to Ann, he throws her off the fire escape.
125* J.P. Monroe in ''Film/HellraiserIIIHellOnEarth'' is a well-built hedonist who picks out a different clueless girl from his club every night so he can enjoy them in the bedroom. Afterwards he insults and taunts them that he used them, and throws them out. It's suggested that this is due to a FreudianExcuse of being raped by his mother as a kid and that he's projecting his hatred for her onto all women.
126* ''Film/InTheCompanyOfMen'', played fairly straight.
127* In ''Film/KillBill'', Pai Mei harbors quite a few prejudices, including a dislike of women, although he seems to hate everyone until they prove themselves. It's hard to tell if he really harbors an extra-strong dislike of women, or simply insults The Bride's femininity by happenstance because he'll basically insult any attribute of any student of his -- this is, after all, a character who allegedly massacred an entire monastery of Shaolin Monks just because one of them failed to return a nod. Which the offending monk might not even have seen.
128* Creator/TomCruise's character from ''Film/{{Magnolia}}''. ("Respect the cock! Tame the cunt!") Eventually [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]].
129* Eddie Dane from ''Film/MillersCrossing'', probably due to being a {{Gayngster}}.
130* Henry Higgins in ''Film/MyFairLady.'' He even gets two songs about how much he dislikes or just doesn't understand women.
131* Marine counter-terrorism expert Rufus Excalibur ffolkes in ''Film/NorthSeaHijack'' (1980). Creator/RogerMoore deliberately took on the role of the misogynist [[FatherNeptune old sea dog]] to escape his previous typecasting as the suave, womanising Film/JamesBond and Series/TheSaint.
132* The title character in ''Literature/RatmansNotebooks'', which is fitting since the book seems to be loosely based on the real-life case of Ed Gein.
133* At the start of ''Film/{{Sam}}'', the title character is an unrepentant misogynist who states that "women are only useful for one thing". The proprietor of TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday causes him to undergo a KarmicTransformation.
134* ''Film/TheSniper'': Eddie Miller is suffering from full-blown psychotic misogyny, caused by issues involving his mother in his childhood (although what they are is never elaborated). He eventually snaps and becomes a SerialKiller targeting brunette women under 30. Police psychiatrist Dr. Kent, an early version of TheProfiler, correctly identifies that the police should be looking for a man with a history of crimes of violence against women.
135* One of the first ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' shorts was called "Woman Hater", in which the boys join a club that forsakes women. Famous in that all the dialog was in verse. The club -- or a reasonable facsimile thereof -- was revisited two decades later in the Shemp era, in "Gypped in the Penthouse" (1955).
136[[/folder]]
137
138[[folder:Literature]]
139* Sir Bors is described as misogynistic in several retellings of the Myth/ArthurianLegend, particularly T. H. White's ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing''. But despite hating women, he still adheres to the code of chivalry and agrees to defend Queen Guenever's honour when she's accused of poisoning Sir Patrick. White subtly hints this stems from Bors being gay and in denial about it -- apparently like White himself.
140* ''Literature/BazilBroketail'':
141** The Talionese people are the most resistant to witches' interference with their land or its monarchy, even when that's definitely for the best. It's not just because they're outsiders, but least in the soldiers' case dislike of women in power, within their country or out.
142** Heruta displays this attitude when explaining his beliefs to Relkin and Lessis. He believes that conquest is a fundamental masculine urge and that men cannot be free without being the masters of women.
143* ''Literature/TheCatInTheStacksMysteries'': Willie Clark in the first book, who's pretty grouchy towards everyone but especially disdainful towards women. [[spoiler:It also comes through in the books he wrote for Godfrey Priest, where women are often the victims of brutal violence.]]
144* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
145** The Wizards hold gynophobia as a proud tradition because if wizards breed, it can lead to the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt return of Sourcery]]. See, being an eighth son of an eighth son is a guaranteed way to have wizardly powers... and the eighth son of such a wizard is a Sourcerer, a being far more powerful and dangerous than any wizard. That said, there are references to wizards being [[DirtyOldMan Dirty Old Men]], gay, or swingers, since it's actually marriage and children that they really want to stay away from.
146*** In ''Literature/MakingMoney'', it is mentioned that many students turn to necromancy because the style is good for picking up women. They're prohibited from marrying, but, hey, ''marriage'' isn't what they're looking for, you know? [[note]]GeniusBonus: this is ''exactly'' how the rules of "celibacy" worked at Cambridge University in the 16th century.[[/note]] It's not ''necromancy''. It's ''[[UnusualEuphemism Post-Mortem Communication]]''.
147** Parodied in ''Literature/MenAtArms'', when old-school guards Vimes and Colon hate the idea of a dwarf and troll in the watch, but not quite as much as they hate having to allow Angua, a w..., with a timely interruption there. Turns out, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent it's not the "woman" part of her they dislike]].
148* ''Literature/{{Earthsea}}'': In ''Tehanu'', ''every'' unsympathetic man is one of these, especially the wizards. A special mention goes to Aspen, who [[spoiler:enslaves the heroine just because she's a woman. That's it. Sure, he makes a slave of Ged too because he killed his master, but... yeah.]] Le Guin even strips previous characterization to use this trope to turn [[spoiler:Cob, the BigBad immortality seeker from the third book]] into one of these. It's worth noting that in Earthsea, women in general and witches in particular are considered suspect. Wizards are celibate because they fear contamination from women, even the sympathetic characters such as Ged.
149* Played horrifyingly serious in ''Literature/FriedGreenTomatoesAtTheWhistleStopCafe'' with Frank Benett. He gives off a charming, polite side in public but he actually ''hates'' all women [[FreudianExcuse because he caught his mother having an affair as a child]] and rapes various women and beats them. He does this repeatedly to his wife Ruth Jamieson.
150* The Dead Man from the ''Literature/GarrettPI'' series, whose character is a fantasy/noir homage to Wolfe, voices this attitude in the early novels. By the sixth or seventh book it's pretty clear that it's an affectation more than a deep-seated prejudice, plus a bit of sour grapes (because he ''is'' dead and hence misses out on a sex life).
151* In ''Literature/GirlsWithSharpSticks'', [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors Innovations Academy]] was founded by a group of these who saw women's rights as a threat to their power. Having failed to stop the feminist movement, they created an elite finishing school where wealthy families could send their daughters to embrace more traditional gender roles, hoping to at least hold onto a slice of the next generation. [[spoiler:Jackson's father was one such investor, a men's rights activist who is strongly implied to have killed his mother when she found out what was actually going on. It's later [[TomatoInTheMirror revealed]] that the above is the cover story; in truth, they simply decided to cut human women out of the equation altogether, using the academy to create {{Artificial Human}}s to serve as their perfect, docile, submissive wives.]]
152* ''Literature/{{Gone}}'': Drake is a monster called "Whip-Hand" who hates women and loves torturing them. It is suggested that this is the result of issues he had about his mother.
153* The planet of Masada in ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' has this as their [[PlanetOfHats hat]]. Their progenitor culture on the planet Grayson has a [[WomenAreDelicate somewhat milder version]] when first introduced, which somewhat dissipates over the course of the series. (Grayson's attitude, societally speaking, is not so much "Women are evil!" as "Women are delicate snowflakes who must be protected!" Given the fact that the colony nearly died out in the first decades after its founding and that its planet is a DeathWorld, they have their reasons. And they do get better.)
154* The ''Literature/InDeath'' series: There is one place called Jim's Gym in ''Visions in Death''. Big, burly men go there, and it is no secret that the people there are he-men, and they dislike women intensely. Eve ends up having quite the conversation with the owner Jim. To his credit, he was not happy to hear that one of the men going to his gym is a rapist and a murderer specifically targeting women. So he helps her out saying "[[EvenEvilHasStandards I don't hold with rape.]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Worse than murder, you ask me.]]"
155* ''Literature/JamesBond'', under the pen of Creator/IanFleming, was a [[HatesEveryoneEqually misanthrope]] with a particular mad-on for women, going on several StayInTheKitchen rants through the series.
156* Jed Lacey, Creator/DavidDrake's detective hero from ''Lacey and Friends'', a convicted rapist whose punishment included such severe aversion therapy that he finds it difficult to talk to or even remain in the same room as a woman, let alone touch them. Then they made him a police officer since it's a CrapsackWorld.
157* BarbarianHero Karsa Orlong from the ''Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen'' is not a straight example as he doesn't ''hate'' women, but he does believe them to be inferior, and holds them in deep contempt, initially believing that [[DeliberateValuesDissonance rape is totally okay]]. His interactions with [[HotWitch Samar Dev]] and various other women seem to be improving him for the better, although it's hard to tell completely; nonetheless, he delivers a massive PayEvilUntoEvil moment to [[spoiler:Bidithal]] for his paedophilia and abuse of [[spoiler:Felisin Younger]], which ''appalls'' him.
158* Colleen [=McCullough=] gives the (real-life) Roman renegade Quintus Sertorius this attitude in her ''Literature/MastersOfRome'' series. Sertorius, a brilliant general whose life is soldiering, has no time for women except his mother.
159* An alarming number of the characters in the ''Literature/MillenniumSeries''. The first book's Swedish title was ''Men Who Hate Women'' before being adapted to ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'' for the English version.
160* Literature/NeroWolfe keeps a relentlessly male household and appears to have little tolerance for women. His actual attitude is more complex; he hates stupidity and emotional outbursts, and women of mid-20th-century America were trained not to show off their intelligence or to be too unemotional (thought to be a sign of a "man-hating" woman); he appears to hate the frivolous "performance" that women were encouraged to display more than women in and of themselves. The few times he encounters a woman who rejects contemporary mores, or who at least displays an inner-strength, stoicism, and confidence that then-contemporary mores discouraged in women, he's genuinely polite and (for him) friendly.
161* ''Literature/TheObsidianTrilogy'': While the entire city of Armethalieh might as well have its name changed to Misogynyville, Lycaelon Tavadon is a particularly extreme example even for them, especially in the first book.
162* In ''Literature/RallyRoundTheFlagBoys'', Oscar Hoffa blames women for reducing male life expectancy.
163-->"They've turned the goddam country into a goddam matriarchy. All they need from a man is money and stud. You take the average slob on this train. What's his day like? He crawls out of bed at six a.m., goes to New York and works his tail off all day, comes stumbling home at seven o'clock, more dead than alive, and then his wife tells him he's going to have to work a little harder because she's decided to put a new wing on the house. No wonder the poor bastards drop dead at forty!"
164* Bunny, from ''Literature/TheSecretHistory''. Only his girlfriend counts as a ''real'' woman.
165* ''Literature/SexRobotsAndVeganMeat:'' Woman haters make a prominent showing in the chapter about {{Uterine Replicator}}s. Have your own kids without having to deal with evil castrating women? Sweet!
166* Peaceable Sherwood of ''Literature/TheSherwoodRing'' by Elizabeth Marie Pope. His uncle/guardian got him enlisted as a soldier during the Revolutionary War (on the Brit side) specifically because Peaceable "refused to marry the half-wit he had selected for me." When his uncle pointed out that acting like a half-wit was the fashion for young ladies of the time, Peaceable said he'd rather die single and refused to marry until he met a woman as intelligent as he was. The sister of the soldier he's taken prisoner tricks him into drinking sleeping drops (that he ''knows'' she has on her at the time because (a) he ''saw'' them and (b) she even mentioned them in conversation!) because he finds it all too easy to believe that a woman would be dumb enough to try to pull that off. When he realizes what she's done after the drinking, he promptly proposes marriage before passing out!
167* In a wonderfully [[SpoofAesop spoofed Aesop]] at the end of ''Literature/SirGawainAndTheGreenKnight'', Sir Gawain says he's learned to stay away from women because they're all evil, manipulative bitches. Wrong!
168* ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'': Athos has a strong hatred of women, particularly blondes. [[spoiler:Having your wife Miledy turn out to be a branded thief will do that to a man. She's even worse when they meet again.]]
169* ''Literature/TrappedOnDraconica'': A strange example. He grew up surrounded by female soldiers, idolizes his warrior queen mother, and has a great relationship with his sister (who has actually seen more combat than him) but doesn't take Princess Daniar seriously and for some reason thinks women care about nothing but shopping and pinning flowers to their dresses. WordOfGod says [[spoiler:this is part of his JerkassFacade because he felt insecure among so many strong women when he himself had never seen combat.]]
170* ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'' features General Rumford as the main enemy of the independent-minded, LGBT-friendly Amazons of [[LadyLand Azania]], who launches a war on them specifically because he considers a country ruled by women an abomination that cannot be allowed to exist. Rumford is a hyper-conservative Christian dominionist who constantly throws insults at the Azanians, alternating between raging at the vile unnaturalness of female soldiers and simply dismissing them as silly women, and laughs at the idea that human rights should apply to them (or anyone, really, but ''especially'' women enemies). He ''literally'' has rebellious women burned at the stake, and sells defiant Azanians who will not submit to his conservative ideas into slavery, considering this a good deed that will teach them their proper place in the world. While the author appears to have honestly intended him as a ''sympathetic'' character, and he does have certain KnightTemplar-ish virtues otherwise, his misogyny really is incredibly over the top.
171* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'': In ''Ethan of Athos'', the inhabitants of the all-male CultColony world of Athos are a mild case of this. Their Founding Fathers developed the religious belief that women were the root cause of all male sin. After the invention of UterineReplicator technology, they decided to found a colony where even ''images'' of women are forbidden. Although originally intended as a monastery planet, generations of SituationalSexuality has resulted in a society where [[NonHeteronormativeSociety pretty much everyone is gay]]. While most Athosians don't actually ''hate'' women, they do fear them because their religious mythology teaches that women have the power to MindControl men and lead them into sin.
172* Wash Williams, the telegraph operator in the ''Winesburg, Ohio'' segment "Respectability", has a violent hatred of women, stemming from his ex-wife's infidelity and her mother's misguided attempt to patch things up between them.
173[[/folder]]
174
175[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
176* Billy Blim from the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' third season episode "[[{{Recap/AngelS03E06Billy}} Billy]]". Contact with the blood/sweat of Billy triggered male characters to murderous hatred of women. This causes men to assault women close to them, and almost drove Wesley to kill Fred.
177-->'''Wes:''' What do you tell a woman with two black eyes? Nothing you haven't already told her twice.
178* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
179** Warren Mears starts off as a harmless geek, but in Season 6, his anger over his inability to get a date, and subsequent poor luck when he does, leads to him descending into this.
180** In Season 7 of the First Evil's favorite minion, Caleb, is a raging misogynist who sees all women as corrupt whores, frequently voicing his hatred of and disgust for women. He considers Buffy and the other Slayers to be a blasphemy because they are girls with SuperStrength.
181* Sontarans in ''Series/DoctorWho'' are a hyper-masculine ProudWarriorRace that hate women, which is made ironic by the fact that they're a OneGenderRace where the males reproduce (via their probic vent). A certain fan theory in certain circles, based mostly on some readings of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E1TheTimeWarrior The Time Warrior]]", was that Sontarans are actually biologically female. The New Series introduced Strax, a Sontaran whose misogyny is compounded by the fact that he has no understanding of gender at all and frequently misgenders everyone around him. Also, his two best friends are both women. And he can produce 'enormous quantities of lactic fluid'.
182* Dodd Gerhardt of ''Series/{{Fargo}}'' is a raging misogynist in addition to being a power-hungry, impulsive psychopath. He beats his wife and daughters and views his mother as being incapable of taking over the family business. He waxes poetic about the greatness of males and the weakness of females to a would-be victim.
183-->"Son, you got yourself a woman problem. How I know is they've been plaguing me my whole life. What's the joke? Can't live with them, can't turn them into cat food. Personally, I don't see the value in all that talking and the mood swings and the lack of rational thinking, which, brother, your bitch has got that in spades. See, the male of the species has got the potential for greatness. Look at your kings of old. Napoleon, Kublai Khan, Samson. Giants made of muscle and steel. But these women, even in those Bible movies, you see a Delilah and, uh, Scheherazade. I want to tell you my own private belief here. I think Satan is a woman. Think about it."
184* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': [[Characters/GameOfThronesJoffreyBaratheon King Joffrey Baratheon]] has shades of this. He genuinely doesn't seem to like ''any'' girls (or anyone, for that matter). He resents his ArrangedMarriage to Sansa in the first season, abuses her and a pair of prostitutes in the second, and when pushed even Cersei, the only woman he seems to have any respect for, is not above his threats and insults. Scarily, the ''only'' time he does seem to show genuine interest in a woman is when Margaery is expressing interest in killing things.
185--> '''Joffrey:''' [the Starks] put too much value in their women.
186* ''Series/HellsKitchen'': Frank from Season 15 showed very misogynistic views. He repeatedly disrespects and insults Manda, and mentions in some of the ConfessionCam segments that he hates working with women. [[spoiler:After his elimination]], he says he considers the women to be the reason [[spoiler:he was sent home]], as "the Blue Team had no drama until the women joined," and that turned it into a popularity contest. At the same time, he notes that he hated serving with women in the Marines too. [[LaserGuidedKarma This bit him in the ass, however]] -- after leaving the show [[http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/story/military/2016/04/06/marine-chef-fired-blasting-women-hells-kitchen/82721802/ Frank was fired from his normal duties]] and [[ReassignedToAntarctica reassigned]] to the Marine Enlisted Aide Program.
187* ''Series/{{Impulse|2018}}'':
188** Clay Boone, who is a sports star, treats women like objects, cheated on his last girlfriend and date rapes Henry, kicking off much of the plot. He continues to deny any wrongdoing and later comes to see her as a freak who attacked ''him'', despite admitting to his dad that he likely ''did'' do this to her. He's also shown laughing about a "prank" he pulled where he dated a girl solely to get her to send nudes, all so he could then leak them to humiliate her brother (and still laughs about it, even while his friends are disturbed by it).
189** The men in the Mennonite church, who oppose Esther leading the congregation and generally treat their women like crap. Lucas, while living with them, finds the religious principles admirable but he's disturbed by the rampant misogyny.
190* Another of the rare gay examples: The "Men on..." sketches on ''Series/InLivingColor''. Every time Blaine and Antoine reviewed ''anything'' involving women (especially attractive ones), they had the same response:
191-->"Hated it!"
192* Hiroki Makise of ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' is a frightening version of this. He's a StalkerWithACrush toward multiple girls, holds a StalkerShrine on the prettiest girls in school, and desired to crash a bus full of these girls off of an unfinished highway. Tomoko lampshades this in a later episode by stating, "Simply, he's a misogynist."
193* Lorenzo in ''Series/{{Leonardo}}'', who has to keep correcting his statements about girls not to include [[SweetPollyOliver Tom/Lisa]], and says making excuses to avoid going on dates is his hobby.
194* ''Series/LunaNera'': Pietro's father and the Bishop fear women they are unable to repress or control.
195* Al Bundy of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' is probably the most extreme example of hatred of the "fairer sex", yet he still has no issue with lusting after them physically. Although his reasoning stems from wife Peggy draining him emotionally immediately after marriage, in the long run, it's assumed from various episodes that he really does love her, much as he denies it. He's also the founder of NO MA'AM -- [[FunWithAcronyms National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood]].
196-->'''Al:''' But first I'm going to find a barber, a real man. A man who likes [[HaveAGayOldTime girls]] but hates women.
197* ''Series/Mouse2021'': Hyung-chul kills women (including his own sister) because he hates them.
198* ''Series/MyWorldAndWelcomeToIt'': John is often referred to as a misogynist by various characters (one episode is even titled "Monroe the Misogynist") -- and despite some level of downplaying in the series, there's a good bit of truth to that. For example, he says "I hate women" a few times in the first episode ("Man Against the World"), as well as [[BlackComedy imagining his wife being hung from a chandelier by her neck after she says too many things that irritate him]].
199* ''Series/{{Pataclaun}}'': Machín's most prominent trait, undermining the potential of women (specifically, his wife, Wendy) whenever the situation arises.
200* ''Series/ThePower2023'': An online anti-femininst named Urbandox gains a large following by saying the evolution of the skein in women is a result of men having given up their "rightful place" running things through [[WeHaveBecomeComplacent going soft]] and calls on them to "retake it". Matt, who's Margot's teenage son, listens to and starts accepting his ideology, claiming that she's "emasculated" her husband, his father Rob, who does some traditionally female things like him cooking dinner for the family, even though she in no way forces him to (it's his preference). His views increasingly alarm Matty's family, especially Jos and Margot, driving them apart.
201* A common MonsterOfTheWeek on ''Series/SweetVicious''. Special notice goes to Brady, the frat boy rapist in s1e08.
202* In the Netflix documentary series ''Series/TigerKing'', several of the male animal park owners and businessmen treat women poorly. Joe's increasingly vicious videos make fun of Carole Baskin in misogynist ways. Bhagavan "Doc" Antle is allegedly the head of a sex cult of female employees. One commentator quotes him as saying, "Men are pigs, and women are sheep." Jeff Lowe used baby tigers to lure beautiful women to his hotel room so that he could have sex with them, and sometimes with his wife Lauren. Later in the series, Jeff remarks that Lauren will need to go back to the gym after giving birth, and lecherously shows off photos of their attractive nanny. James Garretson was the proprietor of several strip clubs.
203* ''Series/TwoSentenceHorrorStories'': In "[[Recap/TwoSentenceHorrorStoriesS1E2Squirm Squirm]]" Doug's speech to Keisha toward the end implies he's tormenting women like her purely for spite over his wife leaving him without explanation, indicating he's doing it based on intense misogyny. Given his behavior, it's no stretch to believe he'd been abusive to ''her'' somehow too, because this is incredibly extreme as a reaction.
204* [[CampGay Jack]] of ''Series/WillAndGrace'', who found women physically repulsive (though he wasn't like that in the earlier seasons, making this more of an example of {{Flanderization}}). (Didn't stop him from [[IfItsYouItsOkay sleeping with Karen on occasion]]). Though only in the "6 to 9 hours of unconsciousness whilst occupying the same bed as..." sense.
205[[/folder]]
206
207[[folder:Music]]
208* It'd honestly be easier listing down the Slam DeathMetal bands that aren't this.
209* Music/{{Extreme}} had a song called ''He-Man Woman Hater'' on their 1990 album, ''Pornograffitti''.
210* A lot of GangstaRap. "Housewife" by Music/DrDre is a pointed example despite its title. On the other hand, Dre's "Bitches Ain't Shit", despite popularizing the saying "bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks", was primarily a pointed, extended diss towards Eazy-E and Jerry Heller, with whom Dre was on ''very'' bad terms at the time after the disbanding of Music/{{NWA}} from financial issues.
211* "Macho Insecurity" by Music/DeadKennedys (a commentary on the trope, not an example)
212* "HWH" by punk band the Falling Idols (one of Music/{{Sublime}}'s biggest musical influences) is a particularly disturbing example of this trope. Lyrics available here: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107859437088/
213* Much of Music/AnalCunt's discography, such as ''Women: Nature's Punching Bag'', ''Kill Women'', ''You're Pregnant, So I Kicked You in the Stomach'', ''I'm Glad I'm Not a Girl'' and many more. In an inversion, they also have a parody album called ''Picnic of Love'', which contains such gems as "I Respect Your Feelings as a Woman and a Human" and "I'd Love to Have Your Daughter's Hand in Marriage".
214[[/folder]]
215
216[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
217* Wrestling/LouThesz refused to appear on cards if they featured wrestling matches involving "[[NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals zoo animals]]" such as bears and alligators, midgets and dwarfs or women while he was Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA World Heavyweight Champion. {{Downplayed|Trope}} however in while he thought such cards made professional wrestling look like an illegitimate sport, he wasn't against the existence of women wrestlers altogether provided they stayed on their own cards. The zoo animals not so much.
218* In 2002, James Watkins set out to rid All Pro Wrestling of all women, starting with [[Wrestling/SaraDelRey Nikki]].
219* In 2006, Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield had this much to say about the UK while [[Wrestling/WWESmackdown Smackdown]] was there.
220-->'''John Layfield:''' Ah here comes the Queen, your honor, your honor! A QUEEN! You people make me sick. What kind of self-respected human being would bow down to a woman?!
221* Wrestling/{{The Colony|Wrestling}}'s {{evil knockoff}}s, Colony Xtreme Force, don't have a very high opinion of women. They ate some humble pie at the tail end of 2014 when [[Wrestling/RubyRiott Heidi Lovelace]] beat Arctic Rescue Ant and [[Wrestling/MissileAssaultMan Missile Assault Ant]] in Wrestling/{{Chikara}}[=/=]Wrestling Is Fun's [[TournamentArc Young Lions Cup]].
222* In 2016, Ricky Marvin, Averno, and Chessman formed Los [=OGTs=] [[PowerTrio trio]] in Wrestling/{{AAA}}, and one of the things that bound them together was the belief that luchadoras sucked. Another thing was active support from Gran Apache, who thought they were pretty cool guys, [[MoralMyopia until]] they turned their misogynist attentions towards Apache's wife and daughters.
223[[/folder]]
224
225[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
226* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'':
227** Tamuz skirts the line on this one; his Solar mate got a heavy dose of [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity the Great Curse]] and subjected him to so much physical and emotional abuse that it drove him to the gay side of the spectrum. He ended up taking a hand in the creation of the Delzahn civilization in the South, and it's implied that his bitterness towards his old mate is why the Delzahn have a long string of misogynist cultural practices. [[ReincarnationRomance In a prime show of Fate being a fickle bitch, his Lunar boyfriend recently reincarnated... as a young girl]].
228** From the same game, one of the Lunar Exalted mentioned in the Halta sourcebook is a son of Raksi, the Queen of Fangs, who has taken an affinity for the spider and so really doesn't like to be around women much, because of the spider instincts. The fact he used to be [[ParentalIncest Raksi's]] [[{{squick}} lover]] probably doesn't help.
229* In the [[AntiMagicalFaction Banishers]] sourcebook for ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'', one of the sample Banishers is a Thyrsus Banisher who engages in cannibalism and is a noted misogynist, especially fearing/hating female mages who are also Thyrsus. This is fuelled by his symbolic connection to spiders; he sees himself as a spider in human form, and if he's a male spider, then that means a female spider is his worst enemy.
230* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': Barzillai Thrune, the {{big bad}} of the adventure path "Hell's Rebels" has this as one of his major defining characteristics. Starting off with being brought up in a family loyal to the misogynistic lord of Hell, Asmodeus, he was frequently and brutally abused by his mother. And part of this abuse was delivered in response to his [[BrotherSisterIncest incestuous affection]] for his sister Narcelia, who was so disturbed by him that she ran away and hid herself with magic powerful enough to keep him from ever finding her. In adulthood, this manifested into a full-blown fear of women and [[TheLoinsSleepTonight intimacy]] which led him to become a brutal tyrant in order to assert his strength.
231[[/folder]]
232
233[[folder:Theater]]
234* The song "Péron's Latest Flame" in the musical ''Music/{{Evita}}'' (as well as the original ConceptAlbum and the Film version) has a verse where the military enunciates their distaste for Juan Péron's relationship with--and counsel from--Eva Duarte, especially her seeming ambition. It becomes an ImpliedDeathThreat toward ''Péron himself''.
235-->''Péron is a fool, breaking every taboo\
236Installing a girl in the Army HQ\
237And she's an actress! The last straw!\
238Her only good parts are between her thighs\
239She should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skies\
240Or she could be his last whore''
241* Benedick in ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing'' is a subversion; it's mostly just a cover to [[SlapSlapKiss hide his feelings]] for Beatrice, and in any case his actions don't really bear his words out. Unlike, oh, ''every other man at the wedding'' (except for the priest), Benedick believes Hero ''instantly'' and never engages in any of the subsequent slut-shaming, instead defending her from the others.
242* Professor Henry Higgins from ''Theatre/MyFairLady'' is very misogynistic, though he insists he's not. In fact, he's got two whole songs dedicated to whining about how much he dislikes women ("An Ordinary Man" and "A Hymn to Him" a.k.a. "Why Can't a Woman Be More Like a Man?"). The end of the play may have helped him get over it, but again, it's up to viewer interpretation.
243%%* Petrucho in ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew''.
244* Voldemort calls his gang of cronies in ''[[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical A Very Potter Senior Year]]'' the He-Man Woman Haters.

247[[folder:Video Games]]
248* Dave from Overlook in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2''. While [[TheFaceless you never actually see him]], he constantly insults town leader Karima for being a woman and tells her to [[StayInTheKitchen make him a sandwich]]. At the end of the Overlook missions, she has the Vault Hunter fire a cannon at the town to test the shields, without actually putting the shields up. The cannon blast hits Dave's house and sinks it into a ravine. Karima then puts the shields up and [[BlackComedy politely asks you to try again]].
249* Adell, the main character of ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2|CursedMemories}}'', "does not like girls" because of an attempted childhood [[DealWithTheDevil deal with a succubus]] gone south that left his face [[GoodScarsEvilScars with a pair of Inigo Montoya-style scars]] and nearly killed him. He ends up [[spoiler:making an exception for Rozalin]] in the end, but he's still a bit queasy around most women.
250* Garland, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'''s [[WarmupBoss original]] princess-kidnapper, is portrayed as one of these in his ''VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy'' [[ReVision imagining]]. He rants at Wol about how women are traitorous demons and royal women are even worse. Wol merely asks him if he's had a few bad experiences.
251* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has two [[DarkAndTroubledPast rather tragic cases]]:
252** [[spoiler:Arvis of Velthomer]] of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'' has serious issues with the female gender. This is less about outright hatred and more as a consequence of his terrible childhood. [[spoiler:His much-hated father, Duke Victor of Velthomer, was a {{Jerkass}} who drove Arvis's beloved and idealized mother Cigyun into despair with his [[TheCasanova womanizing]] ways. When Victor raped Cigyun's favorite handmaiden and kicked her out of the court when she got pregnant (which would lead [[HeroicBastard to his half-brother Azel's birth]]), the distraught Cigyun had an affair with Prince Kurth of Grannvale. When Victor found out about ''that'', he killed himself, and Cigyun left Velthomer, never to return]]. This drove the ''very'' young Arvis to kick almost all the women out of the Velthomer court (save for Alvis' mother) and to distance himself from all females for many years...except for three: his surrogate mother (Cigyun's aforementioned handmaiden/Azel's mother), his right-hand woman Aida ([[spoiler:and mother of Saias, ''his'' HeroicBastard son]]), and the girl he would marry -- [[spoiler:Deirdre, who he only later finds out is Cigyun and Kurth's daughter, [[BrotherSisterIncest his half-sister]], ''and'' already married to [[TragicHero Lord Sigurd]].]] [[MindScrew It's very, VERY complicated]].
253** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' subverts this with Lon'qu. He seems to be this at first, but when the subject is properly brought up he states that he does NOT hate the female gender as a whole or even a single actual woman. The issue actually comes from him [[spoiler:being [[CartwrightCurse scared of *hurting* women or bringing disgrace to them]], since his OnlyFriend and probable FirstLove Ke'ri was ''murdered by bandits [[HeroicSacrifice when she was trying to protect him]]'']]; this [[DarkAndTroubledPast life-changing event]] left him '''severely''' traumatised and almost completely unable to properly interact with any woman. He gets better in some of his supports, [[spoiler:is a rather decent dad to any daughter he has]], and he even notes that [[OlderThanTheyLook Nowi]] does not trigger his usual reaction, but never fully recovers.
254* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'':
255** The [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Charr]] Flame Legion collectively exhibit this (most visibly in their recruiters), including barring their women from carrying weapons. Appropriately, when the other Charr legions turned against the Flame Legion, the battle was decided when Kalla Scorchrazor and her [[AmazonBrigade all-female warband]] joined the fight.
256** The dragon-worshipping Norn cult, the Sons of Svanir, despise women, primarily because their founder Svanir was killed by his sister Jora.
257* Silvio Caruso from ''VideoGame/Hitman2016'' suffers from gynophobia as a result of [[MyBelovedSmother his mother's clingy and controlling behavior]], which is part of the reason he's immensely distrustful of his colleague Francesca De Santis. While writing his memoir, he expresses a desire to eventually overcome it and have children, although he's killed before he can do so.
258* James Tobin is implied to be at least this in the game ''VideoGame/InThe1stDegree''. He had a divorce from his wife Helen, which apparently caused him to go on a downward spiral. He sleeps around and was at least physically abusive towards his girlfriend Ruby. If you play the game right, you can ask him about the phone conversation he had with Zack. When Granger brings up the fact that Yvonne says that she witnessed a fight between him and her husband Zack, he'll end up claiming "She's lying! The ''bitch'' is lying!" Later on, Granger brings up Ruby, "the woman Tobin loved", at which point Tobin growls under his breath "That lying whore!" It becomes pretty clear that Tobin does not seem to like women very much.
259* ''VideoGame/JaggedAlliance 2'': Dr. Daniel "Danny" Quinten, along with being [[InsufferableGenius supremely confident]] in his abilities as a combat medic, looks down on women in warzones, openly stating that they lack the physical build or strength to be suited for combat.
260* Kotaro Fuuma of ''VideoGame/Onimusha2SamuraisDestiny'' has a deep distrust and dislike of women, and is openly hostile to Oyu, mainly for being a woman. It is later [[FreudianExcuse revealed that his dislike stems from his belief]] [[MissingMom that his mother]] [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned him]]. [[spoiler:Depending on Kotaro's friendship values with Jubei, Kotaro will end up [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice mortally wounded]], and as he dies he finally realises that his mother never abandoned him -- she actually died protecting him.]] It is also worth noting that Kotaro is portrayed a lot more sympathetically than many other characters who qualify for this trope.
261* ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
262** [[spoiler:Tohru Adachi]] shows some degree of this when he's revealed as the killer. Openly referring to women as [[MemeticMutation "Bitches and Whores"]] (okay, [[BeamMeUpScotty he doesn't actually say that exactly]], but you get the idea), his murders of Mayumi Yamano and Saki Konishi were motivated by a mix of [[StalkerWithACrush lust]] and pure misogyny (with a bit of ForTheEvulz).
263** Earlier, [[CampGay Shadow Kanji]] presents himself this way, ranting on how women in general are very scary and he prefers men overall. This is actually more complex as it is actually a {{Deconstruction}} of Kanji's [[RealMenWearPink rather feminine hobbies]] and how much bullying this elicits, especially from girls -- gender stereotypes are a ''lot'' more SeriousBusiness in Japan than they are in the West.
264** Daisuke Nagase feels really bad for a middle school break-up with his first girlfriend that he fears failing at doing his very best in either at soccer or getting a girlfriend. With that in mind, Kou Ichijou and the protagonist try to set him up with blind dates, but Daisuke gets irritated by this. At the end of his Social Link, Daisuke finds the strength to move on by speaking to the same girlfriend that left him behind.
265* Siegfried from the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'', in the first game, ''Soul Blade''. He patronizingly refers to Seong Mi-Na and Sophitia as little girls and Taki as an impetuous female. It is surprising because he is one of only a few male characters to reference gender despite living in a time period where sexism was more common. What could contribute to this behavior is his InferioritySuperiorityComplex, DontYouDarePityMe mentality and being [[NapoleonComplex shorter than all three girls]]. In that game, he was shorter than Seong Mina by around an inch and he towered underneath Sophitia and Taki at 157 cm. What supports this is that he drops this behavior after this game because he drops his arrogance to become TheAtoner and possibly because he has many growth spurts, making eventually not much shorter and than taller than almost all the girls, thankfully for him. This is not EarlyInstallmentWeirdness too because in the ContinuityReboot[=/=]StealthSequel, ''VideoGame/SoulCaliburVI'', Nightmare calls almost all the female characters little girl when he performs an attack throw on them. It’s safe to say that Siegfried decided to be not sexist after he was freed from being Nightmare.
266* Falco Lombardi, of ''Franchise/StarFox '' fame, is revealed to be this in the ''Manga/FarewellBelovedFalco'' comic [[NoExportForYou released only in Japan]]. In it, he explains to Katt, his StalkerWithACrush, that he isn't -- and never will be -- interested in settling down with a woman. The comic and the games never really explore the plot thread and the reasoning behind it (though common fan theories have him as gay, UsefulNotes/{{asexual}}, or simply too engrossed in the adventurous life of a pilot to bother with romance), but it is given a subtle nod in ''VideoGame/StarFoxCommand'' when Falco is the only character not to have a child in any of the endings.
267* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Z'' gives us Reuben General of the Chimera squad. A seemingly dashing {{Bishonen}} on the first glance, it turns out to be a [[ObfuscatingStupidity mask]] and he quickly reveals his true self: an AxCrazy woman-hater, fueled with a certain FreudianExcuse, the only woman he trusted is his leader. Setsuko still thought of him in a quite high opinion, as even though he is a woman-hater, what he did couldn't match what Asakim did to her. Reuben's mostly a Jerkass in general though. He hates the male lead Rand just as much as he hates Setsuko. He hates everyone in the world except Edel his leader who he adores, and Shuran who's apparently the only person in the world he's willing to hang out with.
268* While not outright hating women, Guy Cecil from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' is absolutely terrified of them. This is at first played for laughs, but then it's shown to have stemmed from a highly traumatic incident in his past... after which it's played for laughs again. He's shown to be something of a natural charmer, and one skit shows that he's attracted to women.
269[[/folder]]

271[[folder:Visual Novels]]
272* Issei Ryudou of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', who appears to be highly dismissive or flustered concerning women in general and considers the school idol Rin Tohsaka to be his arch-enemy, and also the spawn of the devil. This probably has to do with his deeply religious upbringing and being a celibate monk-in-training. On the other hand, he thinks Saber is practically angelic. This leads to an encounter with [[FilleFatale Illya]] in ''Fate/hollow ataraxia''.
273* Kenji Setou from ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', with his belief in a vast feminist conspiracy that aims to TakeOverTheWorld and that his school (with a 3:2 female/male ratio) will be a prime battleground, probably qualifies. Interestingly, in one route he reveals that he once had a girlfriend ([[spoiler:heavily implied to be Yuuko the CuteBookworm]]), and clarifies that he doesn't actually hate women; what he hates are feminists. That said, he seems to assume that all women are feminists unless proven otherwise. So far, said women only seem to include his mother, Lilly (who is in the same class as him), and Rin (who he mistakenly assumes is actually a guy due to his poor eyesight).
274* PlayedForDrama with [[spoiler:Yuzuki Hirano]] from ''VisualNovel/ShallWeDateNinjaShadow'', as his distrust of women comes from his DarkAndTroubledPast where [[spoiler:[[SonOfAWhore his prostitute mother]] abandoned him, and while he was raised by his father's rich family, he's been ''badly'' discriminated for his muddled origins]]. He tends to get over it by the time the SweetPollyOliver PlayerCharacter reveals herself as a woman but in his own route [[LoveHurts it's explored in a far more painful manner]].
275[[/folder]]
276
277[[folder:Webcomics]]
278* Hunter of ''Webcomic/CodeNameHunter''. Flashback comics have implied that Hunter was a severe gynophobe, to the point where his inability to work with female agents was threatening his job. Current comics show that he got better (implied to be due to being forced to pair with Gypsy -- they were each other's last chance). Now he's simply [[TwiceShy painfully shy]] around women who aren't Gypsy.
279* Stunt from ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'', to an almost ridiculous degree. Tends to be played up a lot more when he's acting as an [[DesignatedMonkey authorial punching bag]].
280* Walky in ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', as stated [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/03-men-are-from-beck-women-are-from-clark/pervert/ here]]. (Although actually he's already fallen for Dorothy and is just in denial about it.) Given his own self-admitted maturity issues, only his age keeps this from being GirlsHaveCooties.
281* Asher from ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'' is an extremely [[MisanthropeSupreme misanthropic]] SerialKiller who carries a strong distaste for women, especially Izzy whom he carries a particular grudge against.
282--> '''Asher:''' Of all the wheezing female holes that have the audacity to call themselves human, you [Izzy] are the most worthless pieces of meat I've ever seen.
283* Wrecking Paul of ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'', whose clumsy AffablyEvil persona was actually a {{Masquerade}} to hide the fact that he was a serial killer who targeted women. He's not discovered until he kills one of his teammates -- because the female hero he'd targeted (under the guise of robbing the building she was guarding) was replaced with a male.
284* [[GenderBender Gender-bent]] BarbarianHero Typhan-Knee/Tiffany from ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'': Even direct experience as a woman proving many of his preconceived notions about women wrong can't really shake those prejudices loose (He basically credits his accomplishments in female form more to his own awesomeness than being wrong about women).
285* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', Porrim speculates that [[BigBad Lord English]] is this, going off the fact that, of his three female henchmen (read: slaves), only one of them (Snowman) gets treated with any respect by him or his gang. When we actually meet English later and learn his backstory, we learn that his issues with women are caused by the presence of his sister, whom he absolutely hated because [[spoiler:they shared a body that [[SplitPersonalityTakeover one of them would eventually dominate]]]]. Being the complete {{Jerkass}} he is, he decided that everything she stood for was stupid and weak, especially being female. He hates women so much, that despite his rampant homophobia, he'd rather draw {{Bishounen}} yaoi than feature women in his artwork.
286* Psycho Mantis from ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound''. The VideoGame incarnation's dislike of human sexuality is {{flanderiz|ation}}ed into describing all women as 'whorebags' and having a ''violent'' reaction to being approached by them -- at one point he would rather fall to his death than let Sniper Wolf pull him to safety.
287* Jack of ''Webcomic/MayonakaDensha'' fits this trope well. While he doesn't care too much for humanity as a whole, he seems to have something against women in particular for no discernible reason besides a slight hinting that he may have had some traumatic experience during his childhood.
288* Vincent from ''Webcomic/MyLifeInBlue'', despite the fact that his [[PretendPrejudice best friend]], [[FagHag Alison]], is female.
289* Kronar in ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'' takes this to the extreme that he [[HomosexualReproduction successfully procreates]] with [[MisterSeahorse other barbarian men]]. When his newborn son turns out to be a girl he throws her to the wolves, then accepts her as his son when she tears the wolves apart. Later, in order to defeat a sorceress that had hypnotised his men, he is forced to learn how to [[ProjectileSpell 'shoot bzowts']] to defeat her, despite [[DoesNotLikeMagic his disdain for 'sorcery']]. After the fact, his men admonish him for the shame of his having become a 'sorceress', which Kronar himself brushes off:
290-->'''Kronar:''' I feel no shame. Feelings are for women.
291* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': General Bell's disgust with having a woman ruling the country and women being able to work in any job field at any level in Cresce is part of what fuels his desire for a military coup and replacing Cresce's state religion which celebrates women and sexuality with one more aligned with Alderode's violently patriarchal Gefendur sect.
292[[/folder]]
293
294[[folder:Web Original]]
295* WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses (a character played by Creator/DougWalker who is a feminist irl) sometimes goes on women-hating rants. Some are due to bad past experiences, others are just because he's a {{jerkass}}.
296* ''Website/TheBestPageInTheUniverse'': Tongue in cheek, although a lot of people don't seem to realize this.
297* "[[https://youtu.be/0HixyPL2-ho?si=iQapp9JCt2Fp8qCo Incel rant or metal lyrics?]]" asks a panel of metal heads to try to tell the difference between extreme metal lyrics and assorted snippets from misogynist web pages. They have trouble.
298* Dick Masterson, the founder of the website and book ''MenAreBetterThanWomen'' (and also the trope namer of MenAreBetterThanWomen).
299* ''WebVideo/MyDadsTapes'': As explained by Chris's sister, their father hated women -- even his own daughter and wife, to the point where he wouldn't even look at his daughter once she'd reached puberty.
300* Ghost from ''Radio/TrueCapitalist Radio'' is a massive misogynist. Any female caller that isn't a known fan (or a Pony) will always be met with "Get back in the kitchen" or "Dishrag whore". He notes his favorite scene in ''Film/MidnightCowboy'' is when a woman gets beaten. He's dedicated shows to explaining how Mother's Day is a feminist conspiracy. The list goes on.
301* The blog ''We Hunted the Mammoth'' is all about finding these people and mocking them.
302[[/folder]]
303
304[[folder:Western Animation]]
305* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'':
306** Dr. Psycho is the first major example from this series. His misogyny is so out there even the Legion of Doom is [[EvenEvilHasStandards put off by it.]]
307** [[spoiler:It turns out a few members of the Legion of Doom are woman haters. Man-Bat, Gorilla Grodd, Metallo, and especially Snowflame are all so opposed to Ivy as their new CEO that they immediately start bullying her until she starts playing cool boss to win them over. Of course, Ivy is reminded by Nora that [[BullyingADragon she's way too powerful to be kneeling over like that]], and she singlehandedly delivers a beatdown to all of them shortly after (except for Snowflame who ends up needing to use the bathroom before he could fight).]]
308* Cotton Hill on ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' enjoys aspects of women (specifically, them cooking for him, cleaning for him, and having sex with him), but anything other than that any woman he meets annoys him and he generally acts with hostility to women he meets (especially Peggy). His major PetTheDog moment is when he helps her regain her ability to walk and take care of herself after her skydiving accident, by becoming her personal DrillSergeantNasty. He also helps her get her job back when she was fired for spanking a student, though it was more from his belief in spanking. The only woman he truly loved was a Japanese nurse named Michiko. He developed a relationship with her after the end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and since soldiers were not allowed to have relationships with the locals they hid their love, and he was sad when his fleet took off and tried to delay them as long as possible. Years later they reconciled and he apologized for his actions but he unknowingly fathered a son with her named Junichiro and it took quite a bit of his trust to accept him as a father.
309** On a smaller scale, the episode "Joust Like a Woman" shows just what happens when you let a He-Man Woman-Hater take over a RenaissanceFair. Here, King Philip is in charge of such a fair, ostensibly set in 1590, but in fact, Philip is a BadBoss who insists on making his female employees perform only menial labor, never hires a queen, and overall Flanderizes the Middle Ages as a NoWomansLand. He ends up paying for it when his female employees [[LaserGuidedKarma file a lawsuit against him forcing him to go back to selling real estate]].
310* "WesternAnimation/PlaneDaffy", a WartimeCartoon in the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' series had WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck as a woman-hating messenger bird being used to get a secret past a spy who had been seducing messengers.
311-->'''Daffy:''' ''I'll do the job, I'm a woman-hater!\
312She won't get to first base, this Hatta Mari tomater!''
313* William Murderface from ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' is labeled as a "classic woman hater" by the band and calls women "soul murderers", and he's only ever nice to them when he wants them to sleep with him, which almost always backfires. Maybe there's a little bit of FridgeBrilliance there if his advances are always rejected. In at least one other episode he tries to portray himself as a protector of women from unwanted harassment. His bandmates call him out on white-knighting his way into their pants and remind him that they ''know'' he is a misogynist despite his attempts to demonstrate otherwise (they are in fact correct).
314* ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'': Bobby Riggs from "I Am Billie Jean King" is depicted as an overly masculine misogynist bully who thinks he can beat Billie Jean at tennis. He's wrong; she won the Battle of the Sexes.
