Gynophobia or gynephobia is an abnormal fear of women, a type of specific social phobia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WordNet )〕 In the past, the Latin term horror feminae was used.〔Raymond Joseph Corsini (1999) "The Dictionary of Psychology", ISBN 1-58391-028-X, (p. 452 )〕 Gynophobia should not be confused with misogyny, the hatred, contempt for and inveterate prejudice against women.〔http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/misogyny?q=misogyny〕〔http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/misogyny〕 Its antonym is philogyny, the love, respect for and admiration of women.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WordNet )〕 ==History== Gynophobia was previously considered a driving force toward homosexuality. In his 1896 ''Studies in the Psychology of Sex'', Havelock Ellis wrote:
In his book ''Sadism and Masochism: The Psychology of Hatred and Cruelty'', Wilhelm Stekel discusses ''horror feminae'' of a male masochist. In ''The Dread of Woman'' (1932), Karen Horney traced the male dread of woman to the boy's fear that his genital is inadequate in relation to the mother.〔Horney & Humanistic Psychoanalysis, http://plaza.ufl.edu/bjparis/ikhs/horney/fadiman/04_major.html〕 Some authors consider medieval witch-hunts and the myths about Amazons and to be manifestations of gynophobia in human culture. For example, Eva Keuls argues that violent Amazons are the evidence of gynophobia in Classical Athens.〔Eva C. Keuls, "The Reign of the Phallus: Sexual Politics in Ancient Athens", ISBN 0-520-07929-9, (p. 332 )〕 The term ''gynophobia'' comes from the Greek γυνή - ''gunē'', meaning "woman"〔(γυνή ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 and φόβος - ''phobos'', "fear".〔(φόβος ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「gynophobia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
