Helene Druskowitz and modern misandry

“Helene Druskowitz and Modern Misandry” offers an overview over a minimally investigated “third voice” in the history of ideas: man- hating (misandry, viriphobia). As some would argue, misandry, though more covertly than misogyny, has always been present in the public discourse of our civilization. However, around the fin de siècle misogynistic discourse reached an apex: as an answer to it we have two different movements. The first is the widely known and investigated turn-of-the-century feminism that lead to philosophical, political, and cultural changes such as the improvement of women’s education, political rights, better paid work, intensifying discourse of the equality of sexes, equal human rights etc. The second is much less known – misandry, which regards the human male as constitutionally inferior to and morally more deficient than woman.
