Someone once remarked on the Blogdrive main tagboard that he found it interesting that there was a term for the hatred of women ("misogyny") and yet not a term for the hatred of men, implying a double standard.

I, in the course of composing an ode to men following the hurtful accusation that I lacked a healthy appreciation of said demographic, stumbled upon this word, supplied again by those etymologically friendly Greeks. Thus, I present to you:

Mi·san·dry (miss-ANN-dree): n. Hatred of men.
