 ==Misogyny==
-Misogyny is sexist discrimination against women. Misogyny takes the form of ''institutional oppression,'' meaning that it is part of all the workings of a society. It's built into the culture, and makes trouble for women every day. This happens because a patriarchal society is based on misogyny, by definition. This kind of institutional oppression takes the form of pay inequality, difficulty in legally obtaining certain human rights (such as the ability to vote, own property, or have legal personhood), and widespread belief that sexual assault is normal. Misogyny doesn't affect all women the same, because oppressions are ''intersectional.'' Black women experience a mix of misogyny as well as racism, which is called [[misogynoir]]. Trans women experience a mixture of [[transphobia]] and misogyny, this is called [[transmisogyny]], while female-classed non-binary people experience the inetersection of enbyphobia and misogyny, which is called [[enbymisogyny]].

 ===Misdirected misogyny===
-Some misogyny ends up doing harm even to people who don't identify as women or who are not assigned female at birth, because others see them as being like women in some way. This can happen to [[Gender nonconformity|gender nonconforming]] cisgender men. When misogyny is used against someone who doesn't identify as a woman or who is not [[AFAB]], then that is called misdirected misogyny. For example, if a  cisgender man, or non woman-aligned [[AMAB]] nonbinary person gets mistaken for a woman, then that person may be subjected to harassment as if they were a woman.
+Some misogyny harms people who aren't women, because others see them as being like women in some way. This is called misdirected misogyny. Transgender men are often subject to misdirected misogyny, as a combination of [[Misgendering|misgendering]] and misogyny, but nonbinary people and cisgender men can also be affected by misdirected misogyny.
-If someone identifies as a trans woman or transfeminine, then misogyny directed against them can be considered trans-misogyny, but not misdirected misogyny. Misdirected misogyny is the word for misogyny experienced by people who aren't woman-identified or AFAB, whereas trans women are women.
