Although these terms are often compared as hatred of the opposite sex, misogyny and misandry are fundamentally different concepts. Misogyny is a political term used to describe social behavior and norms that are viewed as detrimental to women in general. Misandry is a personal resentment by some women against men, whom they believe are responsible for their own dissatisfaction with their lives. Ironically, both terms are primarily used by women rather than men.
This reveals a fundamentally different definition of "hatred" between these terms. Men do not personally hate women in general, even if they dislike them. However, some women do hate men in general because of their own perceived oppression. Thus the former "hatred" is a fiction, whereas the latter is a disturbing fact.
