This chapter is devoted to the meaning, use, and point of the notion of misogyny. These are issues about which analytic philosophers—feminist and otherwise—have said little to date.3 But they turn out to be philosophically rich, psychologically complex, and politically important. For all of these reasons and more, I believe it is high time we started paying misogyny more attention. By the end of chapter 2, I’ll have proposed a constitutive account of it.
