Though you got that a bit ass about, I’m going to answer, “My wife,” to both.

As for the other question, the third Google search result for “misogynist” gives the answer:

Men who hate women are called ‘misogynists’. People who hate men are called ‘women’.

‘Misogyny’ is also a very specialised Japanese sexual perversion.

A female cat is a pussy.

People who hate women are called misandrists.

Clever, eh?

@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_cat

A group of cats is referred to as a clowder, a male cat is called a tom, and a female is called a queen. The male progenitor of a cat, especially a pedigreed cat, is its sire, and its female progenitor is its dam. An immature cat is called a kitten (which is also an alternative name for young rats, rabbits, hedgehogs, beavers, squirrels and skunks). In medieval Britain, the word kitten was interchangeable with the word catling.

Still, nobody outside of selected cat-breeding circles is going to know what you mean if you start referring to female cats as “queens”.

Hating women (not men) is called misogyny. From Greek ‘misos’ - hate, ‘gyne’ - woman.

Buttercup is right, I’m wrong.

" a misandrist hates persons of the male sex, a misogynist hates persons of the female sex, and a misanthrope is a hater of mankind."

It’s only a queen when it is pregnant.

SO: Misogynists hate women. Misandrists hate men. Thanks for that.
