History Main / EffeminateMisogynisticGuy

* Nekron, the BigBad in ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce''. When his mother kidnaps Princess Teegra (who is quite the MsFanservice herself) to serve as his concubine, he is disgusted by the idea of mating with her, referring to Teegra as a "little slut" and throwing her in a dungeon. He does say that she is attractive for "a lesser beast" and he might take her after all, but this was said to goad her brother into attacking him. In fact, he shows more interest in the ''male hero'' than her.
* King Ard from ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'' is a very effeminate man who hates women and considers them inferior to men.
* Chi Fu from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' would be a milder example; he is a NonActionGuy known for his GirlyScream, yet when told Mulan is a hero he simply says [[DeliberateValuesDissonance "She's a woman, she'll never be worth anything."]]
* HIM, from ''WesternAnimation/WeAreTheStrange'', is a pink guy who looks like he's wearing lipstick while smacking around a woman at his strip club and stating that women are "mere tools" of pleasure for him.

* Adam, a drag performer in ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPriscillaQueenOfTheDesert'' ridicules Tick for having been in a heterosexual relationship once and refers to Tick's ex-wife (and other women) as "fish".

* Jakotsu from ''Manga/{{InuYasha}}'' dresses like a woman, has a female voice actor on both sides of the Pacific, is CampGay, and is contemptuous of his female opponents.

* ''Manga/JoujuuSenjinMushibugyou'': downplayed by Nagatomimaru/Tokugawa Ieshige: while he's not a villain, he's a {{Bishonen}} with a fixation for the main hero Jinbee and an utter, irrational disgust for women, especially [[GagBoobs Oharu, Jinbee's endowed love interest]]. He's not very manly himself and tend to dress in a very effeminate way (usually hiding his face behind a feminine Noh mask). The downplay comes from the fact that his hatred for women is played for laughs and shallow, as he's seen getting along with Hibachi and [[spoiler:the Insect Magistrate.]]

** ''[[Anime/LupinIIIThePursuitOfHarimaosTreasure The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure]]'' has [[CreepyCrossdresser Herr]] [[PunnyName Mafroditte]], who was basically a narcissistic gay Nazi. When {{F|emmeFatale}}ujiko touches him, he's [[{{Squick}} visibly repulsed]] by it and tells her not to touch him because he hates women. [[spoiler:Fujiko weaponizes this at the climax by kissing him on the lips, causing him to [[VillainousBreakdown run away screaming in disgust.]]]]

* Most gay characters in ''ComicBook/FromHell''. The book makes mention of the gay fraternity group known as "The Apostles" who occasionally show up in UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheory lore, who were well known for their outspoken hatred of women (more than most people in the 1800s, even!). This plays into (and in the Apostles' case may have been an inspiration for) the British stereotype of homosexual men in general, especially in older works, that portrays them being very catty and mean to women, rather than the supportive "sassy gay friend" archetype more often seen in North American works.

** In ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'', [[HomoeroticSubtext he became jealous]] when Bison appeared to [[BuxomIsBetter take an interest in Chun Li's "talents"]]. And, when tasked with eliminating her, Vega's method was sadistic; delighting in Chun Li's suffering until she fought back and stepped on his face.

* CampGay {{crossdresser}} Creator/ChrisCrocker says he will KILL any woman he sees with a gay man. He says SHAVING is harder than giving birth. He claims he came out of his mom's vagina with his nose covered...

* Akito from ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' comes across this way until it is revealed that [[spoiler: Akito is actually a woman; her misogyny comes partly from her terrible relationship with her mother, who forced her into crossdressing [[EvilIsPetty merely because she was deathly jealous of Akito's father adoration for their daughter]], and partly from her utter bitterness at not being allowed to live as her birth gender. After the very girlish Tohru helps her have a HeelFaceTurn, Akito acknowledges how screwed up this was (and the consequences), and by the end, she both wears more feminine clothes and is coming to terms with herself.]]
* Clair Leonelli from ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'' is a more subtle example of this trope. He's a small, slender, physically-unimposing {{Bishonen}} who also is in charge of the only organization in the series to contain absolutely no women, and he once disparages [[TheHero Daisuke]] for having to be saved by a woman on one occasion. [[note]] Although it seems that that particular remark was sarcasm. [[/note]] In the manga, he seems to ignore his girlfriend(?) a lot, except when he needs her expertise with robotics. On a more metatextual level, there's also the fact that his birthday coincides with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinamatsuri Hinamatsuri]], a festival associated with women and girls; but at the same time his own mother [[DeathByChildbirth died giving birth to him]].

* ''Manga/JoujuuSenjinMushibugyou'': downplayed by Nagatomimaru/Tokugawa Ieshige: while he's not a villain, he's a {{Bishonen}} with a fixation for the main hero Jinbee and an utter, irrational disgust for women, especially [[GagBoobs Oharu, Jinbee's endowed love interest]]. He's not very manly himself and tend to dress in a very effeminate way (usually hiding his face behind a feminine Noh mask). The downplay comes from the fact that his hatred for women is played for laughs and shallow, as he's seen getting along with Hibachi and [[spoiler: the Insect Magistrate.]]

** ''[[Anime/LupinIIIThePursuitOfHarimaosTreasure The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure]]'' has [[CreepyCrossdresser Herr]] [[PunnyName Mafroditte]], who was basically a narcissistic gay Nazi. When {{F|emmeFatale}}ujiko touches him, he's [[{{Squick}} visibly repulsed]] by it and tells her not to touch him because he hates women. [[spoiler: Fujiko weaponizes this at the climax by kissing him on the lips, causing him to [[VillainousBreakdown run away screaming in disgust.]]]]

** And ''[[Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine The Woman Called Fujiko Mine]]'' brings in the series-specific antagonist Lieutenant Oscar who looks and sounds like a woman, and ''hates'' Fujiko. He usually calls her "pig" or "spittoon". It is heavily suggested he hates her because of his secret [[spoiler: love for Zenigata. She even got to sleep with him!]]

* Herbert the elderly pedophile who lusts after Chris and other boys from WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy has a very effeminate voice and mannerisms, when he learns Chris is having trouble getting a girl to like him he replies “Ah women, who needs em?” in an angry tone, and on another occasion when he is asked to babysit the Griffins, Meg tells him she’s too old for a babysitter, he replies “Well you’re a 17 year old girl, I don’t need you either!” And is disappointed when Meg gives him a sponge bath instead of Chris.

** In ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'', [[HomoeroticSubtext he became jealous]] when Bison appeared to [[BuxomIsBetter take an interest in Chun Li's "talents"]]. And, when tasked with eliminating her, Vega's method was sadistic; delighting in Chun Li's suffering until she fought back and [[BerserkButton stepped on his face]].

[[folder:Web Original]]
* Patrick Wells from ''WebOriginal/TheWarComms'' is an overblown parody of this trope, constantly whining about how all girls are "stupid" and "icky" despite taking pride in being so femmy himself.
[[/folder]]

* The SerialKiller Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb in both the film and novel of ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''. It's carefully established that he ''isn't'' actually {{transgender}} and that several gender reassignment centres have turned him away. Rather, he's obsessed with his dead mother and suffering from a vicious case of IJustWantToBeYou. On the other hand, [[CreepyCrossdresser he's a large, gruff man who has to "put on" an effeminate guise, which doesn't come at all naturally to him]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', the gay (later {{transgender}}, and then back again) teacher Mr. Garrison thinks this of women:

Can also be a deconstruction of GayBestFriend, especially if that's a role he never asked for -- maybe all those "hilariously catty" putdowns he's slinging around are more pointed that you thought they were. And does he maybe seem a bit overenthusiastic to make use of his honorary [[NWordPrivileges B-Word Privileges]], or to detail ''exactly'' what he finds unappealing about women?

* Akito from ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' comes across this way, until it is revealed that [[spoiler: Akito is actually a woman. Her misogyny comes partly from her terrible relationship with her mother, who forced her into crossdressing [[EvilIsPetty merely because she was deathly jealous of Akito's father adoration for their daughter]], and partly from her utter bitterness at not being allowed to live as her birth gender. After the very girlish Tohru helps her have a HeelFaceTurn, Akito acknowledges how screwed up this was (and the consequences), and by the end she both wears more feminine clothes and is coming to terms with herself.]]

** ''[[Anime/LupinIIITheSecretOfTwilightGemini The Secret of Twilight Gemini]]'' introduces [[http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/Lupin-the-3rd-The-Secret-of-Twilight-Gemini/Sadachiyo-the-Scorpion/ Sadachiyo 'the Scorpion',]] who's an effeminate CampGay assassin with long black hair, nail polish, and makeup. Lupin calls him names, like "that sissy assassin". Sadachiyo also has neither respect or patience for women, as seen in his treatment of Lara. And again when [[ATasteOfTheLash he confronts and, later, tortures Fujiko]].

* Yurimaru from ''Anime/NinjaScroll'' seems pretty contemptous of women. He is gay, but also very effeminate.

* The SerialKiller Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb in both the film and novel of ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''. It's carefully established that he ''isn't'' actually {{transgender}}, and that several gender reassignment centres have turned him away. Rather, he's obsessed with his dead mother and suffering from a vicious case of IJustWantToBeYou. On the other hand, [[CreepyCrossdresser he's a large, gruff man who has to "put on" an effeminate guise, which doesn't come at all naturally to him]].

* Shooter Storm, whom Wrestling/NewJack claims [[FreudianExcuse is this way]] because Storm's mother only gave birth [[GroinAttack to half of him]]. Shooter Storm has an affinity for bright colors, an aversion to bruising and is out to destroy women's wrestling, one division at a time, demonstrated when he defeated Wrestling/JillianHall for the PWX Women's Championship belt and renamed it the United States title.

* ''VideoGame/Persona4'' presents Kanji's [[EnemyWithout Shadow]] this way, a guy initially clad only in a fundoshi (who later transforms into a muscle-bound titan with a head of roses wielding Mars symbols as weapons) who speaks with an obvious "gay accent." He tells Kanji that he hates girls, because they always gossip and taunt him about his [[RealMenWearPink feminine interests]], and then says he finds comfort in men. As the Shadow is supposed to be everything the individual hates about themselves, Kanji does not take this monologue kindly.

* Played with by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic. Vain, subby and girly, he's a feminist who nevertheless likes to occasionally poke female tempers so he can get dommed or at least slapped around.

* Yurimaru from ''Anime/NinjaScroll'' seems pretty contemptous of women. He is gay, but also very effeminate.
* The ''Franchise/LupinIII'' franchise features several, usually cast as villains:
** ''[[Anime/LupinIIIThePursuitOfHarimaosTreasure The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure]]'' has [[CreepyCrossdresser Herr]] [[PunnyName Mafroditte]], who was basically a narcissistic gay Nazi. When {{F|emmeFatale}}ujiko touches him, he's [[{{Squick}} visibly repulsed]] by it and tells her not to touch him because he hates women. [[spoiler: Fujiko weaponizes this at the climax by kissing him on the lips, causing him to [[VillainousBreakdown run away screaming in disgust.]]]]

And again when [[ATasteOfTheLash he confronts and, later, tortures Fujiko]].

He usually calls her "pig" or "spittoon". It is heavily suggested he hates her because of his secret [[spoiler: love for Zenigata. She even got to sleep with him!]]
* Yuda from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' could count as a valid example: He's extremely effeminate and treats his harem as dolls.

* Jakotsu from ''Manga/{{InuYasha}}'' dresses like a woman, has a female voice actor on both sides of the Pacific, is CampGay, and is contemptuous of his female opponents.

* The VillainProtagonist SerialKiller Light Yagami of ''Manga/DeathNote'' repeatedly expresses his opinions on the [[StayInTheKitchen uselessness of women]], particularly his girlfriend {{M|adLove}}isa, who continues to ignore his [[HatesBeingTouched rebuffing of her affections]] and the fact that he's using her to get away with murder. However, Light himself possesses a weirdly effeminate demeanor, with a special mention to the lovely [[SharpDressedMan pink butterfly belt]] he wears in the first opening sequence.

* In ''Fanfic/ACharmedLife'' Light Yagami [[InnocentBigot was brought up to believe]] that girls are weak and that [[TheStoic showing emotion is a weakness.]] He's also rather fond of fashion, sewing, and home decorating.
* Light Yagami gets this treatment again in ''Fanfic/ThoseWhoStandForNothingFallForAnything'', but also points this out in his friend-with-benefits Lawliet:
-->'''Light:''' He's surprisingly disparaging of the effeminate due to his hatred of women. I don't remind him of his decidedly camp music collection, but [[FreudianExcuse I blame his mother]]. He doesn't trust women. He doesn't trust men, either, [[TheParanoiac or dogs, or cats]], [[TheLongList or bees, or horses]], but he reserves a particularly spiteful hatred for women and femininity which I find as an equally cruel, unreasonable, and [[EvilIsSexy sexually attractive]] quality in him.

* Chi Fu from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' would be a milder example; he is a NonActionGuy known for his GirlyScream, yet when told Mulan is a hero he simply says [[DeliberateValuesDissonance "She's a woman, she'll never be worth anything."]]

* Lane, the teen who spearheads the cover-up of John killing his girlfriend in ''Film/RiversEdge'', has a hint of this.
* ''Berdella'', a film based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Berdella the serial killer]] of the same name, depicts its VillainProtagonist as this. It costs him his bazaar, as the property owner's wife eventually gets fed up with his attitude towards both her and other women.
* Commodus from ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'' isn't incredibly effeminate and actually can wield a piece of steel. But he's flamboyant, colorful, [[BrotherSisterIncest and perfectly willing to rape his own sister.]]
* This is combined with DepravedHomosexual for the Prince of Wales in ''Film/{{Braveheart}}''. Prince Edward has no interest in his wife, for obvious reasons, and is also directly disdainful of her as well as her suggestions.

* The Countess in book/movie Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.
* Buffalo Bill from ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''; see Film above.

* Mr. Jones, the ringleader of a trio of bandits in Joseph Conrad's novel ''Victory'' can't stand being in the presence of women and expresses revulsion at their very mention. He's also described as an effete dandy with soft, feminine facial features and hands. As a murderer and robber, Jones also qualifies as a {{Sissy Villain}}.

* Lionel Trane (a gay, activist teen) from ''Series/UnitedStatesOfTara'' was so misogynistic that he made other, more mature and secure gay characters uncomfortable.
* Jack from ''Series/WillAndGrace'' DID occasionally have elements of this, but it varied from episode to episode due to RuleOfFunny.

* ''Series/InLivingColor'': Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather, the critics of the "Men on..." series of sketches, will dismiss anything and everything that has to do with women (even tangentially) with a unison response of "hated it!"

* ''VideoGame/Persona4'' presents Kanji's [[EnemyWithout Shadow]] this way, a guy initially clad only in a fundoshi (who later transforms into a muscle-bound titan with a head of roses wielding Mars symbols as weapons) who speaks with an obvious "gay accent." He tells Kanji that he hates girls, because they always gossip and taunt him about his [[RealMenWearPink feminine interests]], and then says he finds comfort in men. As the Shadow is supposed to be everything the individual hates about themselves, Kanji does not take this monologue kindly.

* CampGay {{crossdresser}} Creator/ChrisCrocker says he will KILL any woman he sees with a gay man. He says SHAVING is harder than giving birth. He claims he came out of his mom's vagina with his nose covered...
