It's 'misogynist' (surprises a lot of people that it uses 'i' instead of
'y'), and the reverse is 'misandry' / 'misandrist'.
> Philogynist - a man that loves women
'Philandry' and 'philandrist' don't seem to exist, although the original
meaning of 'philanderer' was a "lover of men" (since it was Greek in
origin it was probably applied to men who loved men).
> Anyone know the proper terms for women that love/hate men ??
See also philanthropist/misanthropist (liker and hater of people in
general).
