Answer:A Misogynist is a person (often but not always a man) who hates women.

Some psychoanalysts feel that it stems from the time when some men were boys and experienced a time earlier in their lives when they had a need to feel more masculine, and not so nurtured by their mothers as daughters do. It's a more difficult time for some young men. All through life they seem to reach back to days of old where they are the hunters providing for their family while the wife bears children, cooks, cleans and does as she is told. Now a new world has opened up where women are far more liberated and it all started with the Women's Rights for voting. Men felt women should stay and home and do their wifely duties. Then came WWII and men went off to war while women took over men's jobs. Once those men who were lucky enough to come home from the war alive were given their jobs while women were told to go back yet again to their wifely duties, but this time women had a taste of the fact they were far more intelligent than lead to believe and that they could earn a living. From then on it was male chauvinism for years where women didn't get the same pay for the same job (generally in offices.)

Even today women that join Armed Forces, the Police Academy or the Fire Department can go through quite a difficult time. They are still not fully accepted on an equal basis by many men.

A man's character is very fragile although they don't understand why. Most men accept the way things are in today's world, but some men will go out of their way to make women's lives miserable and he'll enjoy doing it. Some of those ways are by murder, rape or domestic abuse. These men want the control back they feel they deserve.

Spelled correctly, "misogyny" means a hatred of women

A misogynist is a person full of hatred and dislike for women.

Answer:Ironically, the previous answer is an example in tone and implication of misandry, misogyny's ugly opposite.

Misogyny is a form of misanthropy, also seen in misandry. Misanthropy is the hatred of all mankind, while misogyny is specifically hatred of women, and misandry is specifically hatred of men.

No form of misanthropy is gender specific. There are women who are misogynists, as well as men who are mysandrists. People are complex, and there are an infinite number of reasons any form of misanthropy exists. Specifically, though, it seems to result as a reaction or psychological response to injury or perceived injury, emotional, psychological, or even physical.

While misanthropes tend to react badly to others around them, it is still possible to form relationships, and close bonds, with a misanthrope, albeit a misanthrope likely to be difficult to handle for his or her reluctance to be with anybody else. As aforementioned, misogynists and misandrists both tend to act in that way because of a lack of nurture from either of their parents. Sometimes this is not the case, however. Montague Von Druitt, one of the "Jack the Ripper" suspects, was a misogynist, and yet, rather than feeling hurt by the lack of affection he likely experienced from his parents, he was quite nonchalant when they died, and was thought to be a psychopath. His extreme misogyny and insanity led him to become one of the Ripper suspects.

Nearly all the Ripper suspects show some form of insanity, or misogyny (the two are occasionally linked, but are usually not correlated.)

When someone says that women have to open their legs what does it mean?

It's an popular insult made by misogynists (people who hate women). When humans have sex, the woman typically spreads her legs to receive the man's penis. There are many, many ways to have sex, but the two most common positions (the man on top, and the woman on top) require the woman to spread her legs. Whenever a woman is angry or upset about something, misogynists like to say that, "All she needs is a good banging" or "She just has to spread her legs, and I'll make her feel better" or some variation of that insult. It's basically a way of saying that women's thoughts and feelings are too silly and histrionic (overly dramatic and attention-seeking) to be taken seriously. Traditional gender roles also dictate that women are supposed to be sweet and nice all the time. So the misogynists' perspective is that a woman who is expressing anger or malice or other "not nice" behavior needs to be put in her place. And lastly, the idea that "all she needs is a good banging" implies that a woman needs a man to sexually gratify her. Misogynists prefer to think that women cannot pleasure themselves, and require a penis to get any sexual satisfaction. The idea that women can give themselves fantastic orgasms is threatening to some men; they prefer to think that women need them.

What past history do misogynists have in common?

They never truly bonded with anyone (some say their mothers) and so cannot feel emotional connections in their current lives. Their expectations for emotional connections cannot be met by mere mortals, since they are unable to return the feelings that keep all relationships going. There are discussions of nature and nurture regarding their personality development.
