This rather vague phrase leads to tricky interpretation that's sometimes actively milked by the writers usually of romance fiction. Usually the assumption is that the character doesn't like machismo, or she has bad luck with men in her life, like her father or other relatives. That is, traits associated with men manifest into a dislike of men as a whole. This can pose a problem for any male lead trying to woo her, meaning it takes much longer than suspected to win her over. As with all dislike tropes, the degree to which a particular character
Generally, the author portrays the [[Women Are Wiser|woman in question sympathetically]], and [[The Unfair Sex|vilifies whatever man]] drove her to hate the rest of his gender. The Spear Counterpart likewise is most commonly seen in romance fiction, where the male hero has had some bad past experience with women (either [[Mommy Issues|his]] [[My Beloved Smother|mother]] or a [[The First Cut Is the Deepest|faithless lover]]) and blames the entire gender - until the heroine comes along to change his worldview. Outside of a romance, an adult male who does not like women can be painted [[He

{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In [[Harem Series]], [[Unwanted Harem|unwanted]] or not, you are pretty much ''guaranteed'' that one of the supporting characters will be a lesbian with the hots for one of the haremettes, usually the female lead, and will frequently display a rather venomous tongue towards the male lead. Only very rarely do they experience [[Character Development]] or get a [[Backstory]] of any sort besides switching their behaviour to [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] and becoming slightly more tolerant towards the relationship between the object of her affection and the male lead.
* In the manga version of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Rei Hino is usually completely uninterested in romance and men in general, a lot of it coming from unresolved resentment [[Disappeared Dad|of her emotionally distant politician father]] since he {{spoiler|abandoned Rei's [[Ill Girl]] of a [[Missing Mom]] in a clinic during Mrs. Hino's last days}}, as well as her unrequited love for her father's assistant Kaidou {{spoiler|who married another woman, despite her love for him, and decided to go into politics despite stating he disliked it for all the problems it caused for Rei's family}}. Late in the manga, when the villains torment her with this fact (by then, she'd mellowed out in regards to her opinions on men and actually resents that she can't get close to one), Rei remembers that in her past life she had actually made an [[Celibate Hero|oath of chastity]] to Princess Serenity and is able to fully accept this part of herself.
** Amusingly, nearly every ''other'' adaptation of the story ignores that convoluted explanation as part of the adaptation, especially the famous anime series where Rei is explicitly fond of flashy boys. None of this ever changes her ''apparent'' dislike though, so there are actually ''more'' jokes at her expense about 'not liking men.'
** The live action version is much the same as the manga version though Kaidou isn't mentioned. A small reference to the side story he features in (Casablanca Memories) appears though in the form of a gift from Rei's father to her. (Casablanca lillies and a white dress)
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
*** [[Tanabata|Now]] ''[[Tanabata|that]]'' [[Tanabata|sounds familiar...]]
** It is even mentioned in the anime that Haruka doesn't like men. Michiru teasingly clarifies that she doesn't like men who are popular with girls.
* In ''[[
** In the anime, it is said to be the result of both her grandfather and her father keeping mistresses.
** One of the [[Omake|DVD extras]] makes fun of this, when the neighboring boys' school is allowed to do a version of the show's opening credits until Sachiko arrives in a conniption fit and the girls scramble to change the scenery.
** [[Huge Schoolgirl|Kanako]] is also the same way. If anything, her fear of men is even worse than Sachiko's.
* Akane Tendo from ''[[Ranma
{{quote|
'''Kasumi:''' "So you're in luck! [[Gender Bender|He's half girl!]]" }}
** Though this seems to only apply to boys not men as she's okay with Genma and Tofu.
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
** She's also fairly nice to Ryoga.
* A more extreme version is Asuka Mizunokoji from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', who has a phobia of men based on the fact that she was kept isolated from men until she turned 16 to keep her pure. As luck would have it, her handmaids explained the concept of males very badly, and the first one she ever encountered was [[Casanova Wannabe|major-league pervert]] Ataru Moroboshi. Go figure.
* Hiro from ''[[Wa
* Hinako Aikawa, the lead female character in the manga ''[[Bitter Virgin]]'', is unsettled by being around men and flinches if one happens to touch
* Sakurako Tenmaku from ''[[
** On top of that, the only boy she really ''was'' interested in tried to [[Rape
** She also didn't like girls at first, but eventually got over it.
* ''[[Galaxy Angel Rune]]'''s Apricot Sakuraba plays this trope in an unusual sense; she can interact with men without difficulty, but if a man ''touches'' her, her super-strength kicks in and she literally ''reflexively'' kicks the man's ass.
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Nodoka seems to have a mild case of androphobia (''greatly'' exaggerated in the anime), and an early manga bio states that she "dislikes men". However, this seems to be due to the fact that she's [[Shrinking Violet|extremely shy]] to begin with, and, being a student at an all-girls school, has very limited experience with men. She seems to be getting over it though, thanks to a ''massive'' crush on Negi.
* ''[[Love Hina]]'' also had this in the form of Motoko (at least early on, until she started falling for Keitaro), and at one point she's mistaken for a lesbian by a disguised Kanako. [[Black Comedy Rape|Who then proceeds molest her]].
* Nao Yuuki from the ''[[
* Hisui of ''[[Tsukihime]]'' does not react positively when a male touches her, it's originally explained as her being germophobic. But in ''reality'' it's because {{spoiler|after seeing her sister reduced to a broken shell after years of sexual abuse, she swears never to let a man touch her until Kohaku returns to normal.}} Naturally, Shiki quickly [[Deus Sex Machina|becomes an exception]].
* Yasuna of ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]'' has a hard time around men. It extends to the point she can't even see the face of a male clearly. This is most clearly seen in a sketch of her classmates she made, in which the girls' faces are fully drawn while the guys' don't go beyond basic lines. Pre-[[Gender Bender]] Hazumu, though, stands out as having some detail. This is partially due to the fact Yasuna [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|accidentally mistook him for a girl when he was still a "he"]] and was able to see him.
** Oddly, though, we [[Blinding Bangs|still can't see]] male Hazumu's face, and in fact do not through the entire series.
*** Yasuna has never been able to see men in the manga (not ever her own father!), thus not learning to like them. In the anime she just disliked them and began to not see any correctly.
* Kanako, the protagonist of ''[[Maria Holic]]'', does not like men to the point of breaking out in hives when she comes in contact with them. To alleviate this problem, she goes to an all-girls' school. As chance would have it, her ideal girl [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|is in fact]] [[Villainous Crossdresser|a crossdressing]] [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|boy]].
* Eva from ''[[Karneval]]'' thinks that they suck. Cute, soft girls are her thing.
Line 52 ⟶ 50:
** What's screwed up about the premise here is that the main character's hermaphroditism is described as 'lower half female, upper half male,' which since the top halves of children's bodies betray nothing of their sex means he should have been taken for a normal girl until puberty. But he was raised as a boy instead. Bizarre.
*** This is explained in the last volume: {{spoiler|All the characters are really souls waiting to be born. Mashiro is actually a pair of male and female twins, competing to determine which of them will survive birth.}}
* In the ''[[Mai-Otome (
* Kira of the series ''[[Mars (
* Usio of ''[[Shinshi Doumei Cross]]''.
* Azuma Hazuki of ''[[Yami to Boushi
* Mahiru Inami of ''[[Working!!]]'' has a deep-seated fear of men, believing they will attack her, though she seems alright around Souta. Except for the fact that she reacts to him like she does any man - with a punch to the face or gut.
** This is eventually revealed to be [[Freudian Excuse|because her father]] did not want her to ever get close to another man, so he told her many bad stories about them and improved her physical strength by putting weights in her handbag so she would have the strength to fight them off.
* Gender-flipped by Keima of ''[[The World God Only Knows]]''. He prefers the fictional women in his [[Dating Sim|galge]] and doesn't even acknowledge the ''existence'' of real girls. Then a [[The Ditz|ditzy]] demon of hell recruits him to exorcise spirits... by capturing the hearts of the real girls they've hidden inside with his gaming skills. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* Invoked in ''[[The Day of Revolution]]'' after Kei (now [[Gender Bender|Megumi]]) returns to school to explain why she is now hiding from her former best friends.
* ''[[
* [[The Movie]] version of ''[[Trigun]]'' features Amelia, an [[Action Girl]] who breaks out in hives whenever men touch her.
* Paife from ''[[The Third:
* Yayoi, from [[Mouse]], was straight-out Androphobic. She would panic at even eye-contact with a man, until her BFF made her face the fact that she's a Submissive (think "Gimp"), and was literally waiting for the right male personality to dominate her.
* In [[Kaichou wa Maid
* Arashiko Yuno from ''[[MM
* Mina Hazuki from ''[[Darker
* A male example occurs in the manga ''[[
* Mayu Tsukimura from [[Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun]] suffers from androphobia due to her uncontrollable ability as a Succubus to attract the opposite sex. However, her androphobia does not act up when it comes to the protagonist Shungo Ninomiya.
* Kaede, head of student ethics of [[Seitokai Yakuindomo]] came to the show's formerly all-girl school due to her androphobia (The source of which really isn't explained). It's so bad she refuses to patrol the floor the first years are on. While she is at first quite bitter over the fact that the school went co-ed, she later [[Character Development|starts working hard to get over her fear of men]].
** Unlike most examples on the page, Kaede's situation is played entirely for laughs, and when Hata asks her how many men have wronged her in her life, she claims no such things ever happened to her.
* Soi Fon from [[Bleach]] seems to dislike men. Given her outspoken distaste for Urahara, her abuse and blatant irritability towards her lieutenant Omaeda, and the fact that the only person in the universe that she isn't unpleasant towards is a woman, she may very well be uninterested in them.
** Tia Halibel also exemplifies this, although in her case it's justified. The only men she knows well are [[Magnificent Bastard|Aizen]], [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Gin]], [[Knight Templar|Tousen]], [[A God Am I|Barragan]], [[Four Is Death|Ulquiorra]], [[He
* Mariko Shinobu of ''[[Oniisama
* The protagonist of ''Houou Gakuen Misoragumi'' is a [[Butch Lesbian]] who
* Clarissa, Rahzel's best friend in [[Hatenkou Yuugi|Dazzle]], doesn't like men ''at all''. Meeting [[Handsome Lech|Baroqueheat]] was enough to send her into shock.
* Justified in ''[[Berserk]]'' after Casca was {{spoiler|horrifically raped by Griffith, her former leader and idol turned demon lord}}, an experience that reduced her mind to that of [[Adult Child|a small child]]. She reacted very badly when her lover Guts tried to touch her when they awoke days after the Eclipse.
** {{spoiler|Rape trauma}} does tend to leave one [[Hates Being Touched|averse to being touched in general]], as {{spoiler|Guts himself}} has demonstrated.
* In the anime version of ''[[The Idolmaster (
** Inverted with Makoto who ''wants'' more ''male'' fans.
* Played with Yanagin of ''[[
Line 86 ⟶ 84:
* Man Killer from the [[Marvel Universe]]. Has no problems working with men who don't lie to her, but she still doesn't ''like'' them.
** One notable exception: she once took a job tending bar in an establishment frequented by [[Thunderbolts|Erik Josten]], and seemed to enjoy talking with him during his visits.
* ''[[Y:
* This is the general attitude of the inhabitants of the alternate reality Femizonia in the [[Marvel Universe]].
* Katchoo in ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]'' is not a big fan of the male gender, springing from her childhood of abuse and adolesence as a prostitute/sex slave. Since she also appears to be a lesbian this leads her to be described as a rampant [[Straw Feminist]] and bull dyke by unsympathetic characters in the series, even though she herself (And others) point out that [[Bi the Way|she is not actually gay]], she [[Single
* [[Depending
* The Zamarons were essentially [[Recycled in Space|Amazons in Space!]] in the Silver Age and Carol Ferris's growing contempt for men is what drew the Zamarons to her, transforming her into Star Sapphire, one of [[Green Lantern]]'s deadliest foes. They eventually evolved into an [[Amazon Brigade]] of powerful female warriors, similar to the Green Lantern Corps. Wonder Woman even became a deputy member during the ''[[Blackest Night]]'' crossover. It is stated that men can become Star Sapphires, but most are not worthy.
Line 105 ⟶ 103:
* The ''Lensmen'' universe offers the Lyranians, joyless matriarchs who breed their men as sperm donors only, then kill them. They also show a lethal antipathy to all males of all other species anywhere (they're telepaths with the power of mind-murder), and strike a bargain with the devil {{spoiler|i.e. the Boskonians}} in an attempt to eliminate their need for males entirely. Kim Kinnison, one of the few males they respect {{spoiler|(because he saves their arses big-time at least twice)}}, "would rather have touched a Borovan slime-lizard" than have physical contact with them, and it's largely left to {{spoiler|1=the sole female Lensman, Clarrissa MacDougall}} to carry out any Galactic Patrol missions there.
* ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'':
** Circe believes that all men are pigs, and considering [[Baleful Polymorph|her powers]], and [[
** The Hunters of Artemis are heroic versions of this. They all have a strong dislike for guys (and have sworn off any romantic relationships with them). Unlike Circe, though, they don't go out of their way to ''harm'' guys. (Which isn't very reassuring for guys, considering that Greek deities like Artemis are infamous for [[Disproportionate Retribution]]. Artemis claims to have turned guys into jackalopes and other animals just for stumbling upon their camp.)
* ''[[
* [[Bridget Jones]]. Played for laughs, since nearly all of the female characters in the books spend a great deal of time discussing how totally evil men are, violently and at length. Though, they refer to this as feminism, which is [[Sarcasm Mode|totally the same thing.]]
* In the ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' series, we have Miss Cornelia, who has a severe disdain for men. She deems them "clannish", and her catch phrase is "Isn't that just like a man?" and never in a positive light. She shocks everyone by eventually getting married.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Dr. Luisa Mercedes "Lu" Delgado from ''Strong Medicine''. She often treats the men in her life (no matter if they're her love interests or not) ''real'' bad whether they're jerks or not, and that turns even worse after [[Rape
* Emma Kennedy, Stacie's [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]] in season 5 of ''[[Hustle]]'', tells Mickey she doesn't date, due to some bad experiences with men. Which doesn't stop there being a [[Will They or Won't They?]] ''by the end of that episode''.
* The part about this being more sympathetic than men who hate women was brutally deconstructed in an episode of ''[[Law
* Played with in an episode of ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]''. A lesbian rights (not gay rights, but ''lesbian rights'') activist is initially this trope in all its hateful, bitchy glory. Later on we find that this is partially to cover for her being secretly bisexual. She gets a lot better once accepting her attraction to men and women.
* Chima Simone in ''[[Big Brother]]'' obviously did ''not'' like men the least bit. She not only refused to align herself with the men (Except for ''MAYBE'' Jessie. Kevin she would have tossed under the bus at first opportunity despite being gay) and frequently badmouthed the male contestants. Especially Russell, who she called a terrorist because of his Lebanese descent. (Meaning it was practically racism, had [[Acceptable Ethnic Targets|he not been an Acceptable Target]] in many [[Acceptable Lifestyle Targets|different]] [[Acceptable National Targets|ways]]) She was just bad on ''many'' ways on top of being a stereotypical [[Straw Feminist]].
* On an episode of ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' entitled "How to Succeed...At Murder!", a group of man-hating and power-hungry [[Sexy Secretary|secretaries]] form a secret collective to murder their bosses (after confusing them to utter uselessness with impossible filing systems that only the secretary/the soon-to-be boss lady can understand) and take over as the executives of their respective companies, as part of a female world domination plot. Their mantra? "RUINATION TO ALL MEN!"
** After Emma infiltrates the group, Steed and Emma discover that the {{spoiler|[[Makes Sense in Context|female marionette that controls the group]] is actually controlled '''''BY A MAN''''', and the butler who the group treated like a lapdog to boot}}.
* Anya on [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] is, or at least claims to be, this trope. Her relationship with Xander, a known male, tones down this behavior quite quickly. She still fits during her times as a vengeance demon, though.

* Beatrice and Katherine, in ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]'' and ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]'' respectively, are notorious man-haters. Although Beatrice is not so much a "Man Hater" as a "Benedick Hater."
** Katherine, the titular shrew in [[Shakespeare]]'s ''Taming of the Shrew'' (and Kat in its update, ''[[
*** In ''[[Kiss Me Kate]]'', the character even gets a musical number called "I Hate Men".
*** Of course, how ''much'' Katherine hates men depends on the adaptation. The play itself implies that Katherine is actually a bit jealous of Bianca for having so many suitors, at one point accusing her father of favoring Bianca by having her marry first (and tying Bianca up and whipping her for not choosing a favorite suitor). In the Richard Burton adaptation, this is reinforced by having Katherine roll in a bale of cotton while happily laughing after Petruchio shows interest in her.
Line 154 ⟶ 152:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls|Morrowind]]'', there's a female mage lord who is described as disliking men, though nobody knows why. She rules over an all female town, and if you're playing as a male, it's harder to get her cooperation for the game's main quest. If you're male, {{spoiler|you have to hurl yourself on the ground and beg, or just kill her}}; if you're female, she immediately agrees to help you, makes approving comments about the [[The Chosen One|Nerevarine]] being a woman and gives you some powerful summoning scrolls.
* Dallas Wyatt from ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' developed androphobia as a result of growing up attending an all-girls school before joining Gallia's Squad 7 as an engineer. This translates to a fighting penalty in-game (in the form of the "Man Hater" trait), where her stats will go ''way'' down when paired up with male squadmates. Conversely, she has [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|a strong attraction to girls]] (especially heroine Alicia Melchiott), so pairing Dallas with female soldiers will cause her to start fighting better in order to impress them.
* The first official English ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' game had Florina, the [[The Woobie|adorable]] Pegasus Knight who is incredibly [[Shrinking Violet|shy]] around men. [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]] in regards to [[Chivalrous Pervert|Sain's]] advances on her.
** [[Les Yay|There is some compensation, though.]]
* It's not that [[Fate/stay
* Dr. Strangelove from ''[[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]]'' is a rather interesting case. She is rather open to her hatred of Males, and yet {{spoiler|after Snake defeats Zeke}}, Strangelove hints that she might have an attraction to Huey right then and there when he asked if she despised him, and a briefing file in regards to her interactions to Huey even had her making a rather contradictory statement that Snake noted (she said she would like Huey better if he acted more like a man and actually stood up for himself rather than be dependent on everything, and yet later she states that her most important reason for hating Huey is because he IS a man.), as well as the fact that, unbiased opinion or not, Snake noted that her listing of his positive credentials indicated at least some praise for Huey.
* Helena of [[Cute Knight Kingdom]] says that she doesn't ''hate'' men, she's just never met one that was ''interesting''. She's not completely averse to the idea of a good man, [[Les Yay|but given the game, it's not likely to turn out that way.]]
Line 166 ⟶ 164:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Near the beginning of ''[http://www.avalonhigh.com Avalon]'', Joe tells Ceilidh that the unashamedly misandric Phoebe "really hates guys." Ceilidh shrugs this off until he follows up that she "[[Schoolgirl Lesbians|really likes girls]]," which sets off an "[[Mistaken for Gay|is she or isn't she]]" subplot that lasts throughout. ({{spoiler|Not only is she, she's the one who gets Ceilidh.}})
* Susan from ''[[
** Susan seemed fairly open to befriending men. Before she accepts the opportunity to turn herself into a man, she writes in her journal that she's at odds between her father's behavior (which she was raised being told by her mother that was normal for men) and the knowledge that Elliot and Tedd were decent people in their own ways.
* One of the initial defining traits of Kate on ''[[
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', Gwynn tends to be like this. She's turned the [[Groin Attack]] into an art form and puts jerk guys into headlocks as a conditioned response. In fact, this trope is the one thing both [[Good Angel, Bad Angel|her good side and her evil side]] can agree on.
* Yuki appears to be like this in ''[[Ménage à 3]]''. Admittedly she has some good reason to dislike Gary personally, but even before he got handcuffed to her she responded with attempted violence to something he was doing which was technically her fault. (She had knocked him to the floor and accidentally ended up straddling his head, and her response was to accuse him of "violating me with his nasty nasal boy parts".)
** After seeing his drawings and discovering that he liked the non tentacle-rape-hentai manga of her father, she became MUCH more friendly... Though she's only just stopped referring to him as "Violator-san".
Line 184 ⟶ 182:
* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'''s answer to this trope is Melina Frost. Heck, she founds a group with the sole objective of wiping out the male competition on the island. The portrayal isn't at all sympathetic: she comes across as a raging, psychopathic misandrist. Which, well, she is.
** Another great example of this trope comes from Version 1 SOTF spin-off "The Program" character Chanel Mortimer, who grew up without a father and as such, never gained the ability to maintain friendships or trust the male figures or people in her life.
* Hippolyta of the [[Whateley Universe]]. She's a six foot tall [[Hot Amazon]] who can bench-press over ''eight tons'' (which is a lot in the Whateley scheme of mutants). Her usual reaction to being admired by fellow [[Super
* Missy from [[The War Comms]] takes this trope to an unhealthy extreme.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Mrs. Janet Barch in ''[[Daria]]'' hated all men (including the male students, like Mack and Kevin, and especially the history teacher, Mr. DeMartino) thanks to an abusive marriage and the messy divorce that followed. Despite her misandry, she soon found a place in her heart (and in her pants) for Timothy O'Neill (the [[Hippie Teacher|shy, sensitive English teacher]]) and ropes him in a [[Pitbull Dates Puppy]] relationship that {{spoiler|soon turned into Pitbull ''Marries'' Puppy as of the series finale movie, "Is It College Yet?"}}.
* Numbuh 86 from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' absolutely hates boys. Apparently she thinks that girls are much smarter than them, to the point that her favorite member of the Decommissioning Squad is Numbuh 91, because she's female.
** As time goes on, she seems to lessen this and is generally a bitch to both boys and girls equally.
** Amusingly, she also had a [[Toy Ship]] with Numbuh Nineteenth-Century, who comes off as a bit of a [[Straw Misogynist]] after being unfrozen.
* From the [[Justice League]], a brief villainess Aresia the Amazon had a bitter grudge against men in general and was determined to purge the whole world of men. She managed to stir up a disease to kill every single male in the planet and she nearly succeeded, infecting the males of the Justice League and leaving Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl to deal with her.
** Even ''after'' she's told by the Amazon chief that, after the boat she was on was destroyed, the ship's captain found her clinging to the wreckage and [[Heroic Sacrifice|swam her to the nearest island, then died of a heart attack]]. Sadly, she wasn't told this...the chief didn't feel it was important. Of course, she only seems effected by the revelation for a second or two.

* There is also misandry, which is an intense hatred for men.
