misandry
Prejudice against males
Misandry is hatred or contempt for men, the counterpart to misogyny.
The term appears most often in discussions of gender politics, sometimes to describe genuine prejudice against men, sometimes deployed defensively to deflect feminist criticism: She was accused of misandry for her comments about male behavior.
The adjective is misandrist.
