Misogynists are villains known for anti-female chauvinism, it can be physical or emotional abuse or it may be a deep-rooted prejudice against equal rights: a misogynist may see girls and women as evil, debased or even subhuman and mere objects. The level of misogyny can vary from a sexist attitude (chauvenism) to outright murder (some serial-killers).

Although associated mainly with males it is possible for females to be misogynists as well, a character who hates humanity itself is known as a misathrope. The female counterpart of misogyny is misandry, women hating men. To put it bluntly, Misogynists are villains who abuse, mistreat, and/or dominate over women and girls.
