woman-hater

Despises the feminine

A woman-hater is someone who despises or holds contempt for women as a group.

The term is straightforward and literal, carrying less clinical weight than *misogynist* but the same meaning: He's not just unlucky in love—he's a genuine woman-hater.

The compound can also be hyphenated or written as two words.
