Its usage has become more common in contemporary discussions around gender relations, particularly in feminist and men&#8217;s rights contexts. The rise of the term corresponds to increased awareness and discussion of gender dynamics and biases against both women and men.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the equivalent of a misogynist (woman hater)\u00e2\u20ac\u201d is misandrist?
