-Categorism [[foci of categorism|focused]] on targeting women. (In Swedish: misogyni)
+Misogyny (in Swedish “misogyni”) is categorism against women.
-Please note that in this context, the word misogyny refers to any facet of categorism targeting women as a category. Also note that this is on any [[level of categorism]], be it individual or structural or otherwise.

-While such wide definitions seem rather common, it is also common to instead use the word in a slightly different way, such as limiting it to bigotry against women (thus excluding prejudice and discrimination). Or as limiting the word to referring only to a dichotomy between privilege and oppression - thus constructing misogony as monolithic and constructing [[misandry]] as something which cannot exist.

 * ''[[Alleged Incompetence#Allegedly Self-Evident Incompetence | Allegedly Self-Evident Incompetence]]'': A new engineer is hired at a company where almost all engineers are male. When the new engineer turns out to be female, several co-workers takes for granted that she's obviously incompetent – and thus act as if there's no reason to give her any fair chance to prove herself. They never admit, perhaps not even to themselves, that her gender is the factor which make them regard her as self-evidently incompetent.

 * ''[[Demonization]]'': Talking about one gender or another (in this case women) as being immoral, driven by selfishness and dark emotions.
-* ''[[Kyriarchy]]'': The intersection between the facet kyriarchy and the focus misogyny is commonly known as "patriarchy", and here called by that name. (Note that while some people instead use the word in different ways, such as being a catch all term for all forms of structural misogyny, the word is here used simply as the intersexction between kyriarchy and misogyny.)

 ** [[Individual level]] and [[group level]]: While patriarchy itself is too abstract for these levels, patriarchal structures, discourses, dogmas and so on can empower facets such as male [[supremacism]] and [[infantilization]] of women at the individual and group levels.
 ** [[Systemic level]]: In a society where people systematically encounter almost exclusively men in positions of validated/unquestioned authority, their minds are likely to associate maleness with power and femaleness with lack of power.

 * ''[[Malpractice]]'': Bias against women combined with the fact that so much of medical research is done on male test subjects only often lead to women getting misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all, while also receiving less care even of they get the right diagnosis.
 * ''[[Stigmatization]]'' of women (and [[Normalization]] of [[Violence]] against them, as well as ''[[Denial of Agency]]'' against men): The idea that a man would somehow be unable to control himself when he's sexually attracted to a woman, thus making male-on-female rape the woman's responsibility. Note that while this attitude is extremely misogynistic as well as very misandrist as well, it is so in very different ways.
