On the internet, it is common to call a guy a misogynist, but what is the exact meaning of misogynist? Is it 1. A guy who hates women? Or 2. a guy who thinks men are superior. Or 3. A guy who believes in women should follow traditional norms like cooking.

These aren't different things. If you "hate" women, you think little of them. You think you're better than them. You think they're dumb baby machines that belong in the kitchen.

If you do #2 or #3, you also do #1 even if you don't think you do.
