In other words, a person who hates men?

Absolutely! Fee, you are spot on:

Ah, the joys of a classical education!
Don't forget to check Misanthrope, for the description of someone who hates Man(kind); Wiki has it as Misanthropy.

I quite like men. As friends... In short doses... I suppose... at a push... when women chums were not available...

A bu&&er it. I protest too much!

And of course there's also philogyny and philandry (where philandering comes from?).

Don't confuse philogyny with phylogeny, though.

"Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" is already wrong. We don't need "ontogeny recapitulates philogyny" going around!

->Don't confuse philogyny with phylogeny, though.

Or phrenology, for that matter....

I get it...this was an eye test to see if we would notice the missing "h" in Ophthalmologist, right?

And it occurs to me that the op question is loaded in a funny way.

What's the female equivalent of a Mysogynist?

A misogynist IS the female expression. Do you mean, "what's the male equivalent of a misogynist?"

I know what you meant: misogynists are often male, so what's the counterpart word for a woman who hates men?

But neither word truly implies the gender of the one doing the hating. Either could be male or female. A misogynist could be a woman. Whether she also hates herself for being a woman is between her and her psychotherapist!

P.S. Note there's only one 'y' in misogynist...

A similar question:

If a man has an affair, the other woman is referred to as his "mistress".

If a woman has an affair, what is the term for the other man?

"Master" is the best I could come up with, but it doesn't seem right. Especially because of the other connotations.

Scum Bucket.

What other man? You mean apart from the one with whom she's having the affair?

Partner? Spouse? Cameraman?
