![]() There is also a philanderer, a man who likes to court women a little too much. That would be a philogynist (from phileô, "to like"), but I don't think that word exists. The antonym would probably be someone who likes women. It would have been less confusing if the writer of the article had removed the word "and" while adding a full stop after "her job": then it would have been clear that "misogynist" refers to all the preceding. ![]() In your quotation, it is not Liz who's misogynist, but the story in which she figures, "all this": the script writer portrays her as a stupid woman, and the article is telling us that, by so doing, he is disparaging women in general, in an anti-feminist manner. I'm afraid your etymology is incorrect: it comes from misein "to hate" and gunê "woman".
