Misogny

"She's a woman. She'll NEVER be worth anything."

- Chi-Fu refusing to acknowledge the fact that Mulan is a hero.

Misogny is the hatred of women as well as violence directed towards them, it is one of the most common discriminations in the world and one of the most ancient - dating back for most of human history.

Many countries continue to treat women extremely poorly and some groups, religions and individuals try to justify this oppression with many varied ways: some of the more popular are arguing God created woman for man to treat as he wished, Eve being the reason for sin (and thus weaker than Adam) and the imagery of old women being "wicked" witches during the era of the Witch-Hunts. The opposite of Misogny is Misandry.
