MISOGYNY
MISANDRY
MISANTHROPE
STOMMERIKKEN
=/\=

It took me years of repeated dictionary-checking, to remember what "misogyny" was (hatred for women) and how it was spelled. And I never did get the hang of it.

So now, a lot of people have started to use the word "misandry" (hatred for men)thereby sending me back to my dictionary and to not remembering how to spell the damn thing.

When will they once again pick up on the word "misanthrope" (hatred for all humans) and drive everybody nuts?

I'll never understand why people use tons of obfuscation (hah!) when their aim "seems" to be for others to hear what they're saying and to take them seriously. I can't relate to any sentence that contains the words "misogyny" or "misandry" or "misanthrope" or "stommerikken"......and I wish people would stop trying to sound smarter than they obviously are. Like if they're talking about women who hate men, why can't they simply use the words that are designed to perfectly express this, i.e. man-haters?

That'll force no one to run to a dictionary.

And that'll allow everybody to understand what the flock they're talking about!

For just in case you ran to your own dictionary to look up "stommerikken" and couldn't find it.......it means
"idiots"
