Radical misogyny, a pervasive form of gender-based discrimination and hatred, is deeply rooted in societal structures and ideologies. It extends beyond individual acts of sexism to encompass systemic oppression, characterized by the infantilization of women—reducing them to simplistic and dependent roles—and the vilification of gender nonconforming and transgender individuals. This form of misogyny manifests in various ways, including violence, dehumanization, and institutionalized inequality, ensuring the subordination and marginalization of women and transgender people across social, political, and economic spheres.
Radical Misogyny has appropriated radical feminism in order to discriminate against and further infantilize women while vilifying transgender folks.
