The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and thinking...
~ Gaston LeGume mocking Belle.
Women can't lead. Women can't win! They will always be outsmarted and outmuscled! They need to finally understand that what they CAN and SHOULD do is SHUT UP, know their place, and MAKE ME A GODDAMN SANDWICH!
~ Kai Anderson to Ally Mayfair-Richards.

Misogynists are villains who hate women and subject them to abuse and violence. It can be physical or emotional abuse specifically towards women, or it may be a deep-rooted prejudice against equal rights. A misogynist may see girls and women as evil, debased, or even sub-human and mere objects (though they may make certain exceptions for their mothers, such as with Orin Scrivello, or other female relatives or lovers). The level of misogyny can vary from a sexist attitude to outright murder (or even cause some serial murder). It is also not uncommon for them to be perverts, rapists, pimps, etc.

Although associated mainly with males, some females can be misogynists as well (examples being Jane Tiptree, Femme Fatale, Giffany, Frill, Stitch Sisters, Mrs. Carmody, Frau Engel, Claire, Susan Grimshaw, Cassie Howard, Sharon Quinzel and Jo Slade).

The opposing counterpart of misogyny is misandry, the hatred of men. See Misandrists for more details on that-although the two can overlap, even if rarely (e.g. Adrian Țofei, Billy Blim, Madame Amberly and Amber Canardo).

Important note: A villain who hurts females for reasons that are unrelated to gender do not count as misogynists. For example, Ganondorf repeatedly kidnaps Zelda, but comes from a matriarchal society and frequently works with female villains such as his surrogate mothers, Twinrova, not to mention that he mainly kidnaps Zelda to obtain the Triforce. Thus Ganon should not go under this category as he does not show hatred or patronizing behavior towards females as a whole.

Likewise, villains who just hate humanity as a whole do not count either and should go into Misanthropes instead. However, a misanthrope can still be a misogynist if they harbor a special hatred, disdain or mistreat for women (e.g. Rorschach, Dio Brando, Green Goblin, Light Yagami, Eric Cartman, Griffith, Joker, Patrick Bateman, John Doe and Alex DeLarge).

Good examples of Misogynists include Andy Evans, Ken Wheatley, Sunny Jim, Douma, Water Street Butcher, Dan Tae Joo, Gaku Yashiro, Captain Vidal, Jabba the Hutt, Lord Piggot-Dunceby, Glenn Quagmire, Sir Piers Pomfrey, Homelander, Josh, Gaston LeGume, Bryce Walker, General Tsao, and Hugo Martinez.
