It is hatred of women at its basest. The men I worked with were called by their given names. Only the women got called sunshine and chiefie and other weird names. By the manager. He quit after I complained, but I lost all respect for him as a manager for trying to demean us women like that. Fits the definition in my book.

another important point about the OP after having reread it because something didn't sit right about it to me. a manager calling you sweetheart or "your magic nibbs" is not misogyny, that's chauvinism and sexual harassment if it makes you uncomfortable.
mysogyny:
mi·sog·y·ny
/mɪˈsɒdʒəni, maɪ-/ Show Spelled[mi-soj-uh-nee, mahy-] Show IPA
–noun
hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.
perhaps raging feminists should check their definitions first
as an aside i felt this had to be iterated, or reiterated if someone mentioned it and i didn't see, as people apparently continue to believe and agree with the OP that what she was describing in the OP was misogyny.

This thread, which claims Rape is the Fault of the Victim], (note the ironic date the initial post was made), should be required reading for anyone who wants a clear picture of misogyny in action. It is one of the biggest and best examples of internet misogyny in action, and it is a fascinating and horrifying look into the minds of women haters.
And how do you determine which one of us has the 'warped' view of things?

It is not...your view of hatred is warped.
It is disrespect...it is not hatred.
Imagine if you will, having two bosses at work. What do you think would happen? The answer is conflict.

As president of the ATS chapter of No Ma'am I must say that Misogyny is a terrific idea.
Women are destroying men, they are destroying masculinity in society, feminizing men to the point of androgyny.
Women will not be happy till any masculine activity or belief is totally and completely destroyed.
The bottom line is that women should be avoided at all costs and should never be trusted or even dealt with without a competent lawyer always on hand.

I don't need an angry man shoving something down my throat.
I am capable of determining my own opinions, and owning them, sans college and the ensuant debt slavery it entails.
Oh and thanks for proving that misogyny is alive and well on the internet with your lesbian statement. Really? You really think because a female holds an opinion she should be a lesbian?

AH,I see from your avatar that you joined 4 years ago,
is there a connection between your break up and your
membership here?
Are you serious with this crap?
The fact that I do all these things so that HE can be happy seems to fly in the face of your assessment of women above. It REALLY sounds like you hate women. Maybe you've had some bad relationships but haven't we all? That's no reason to say some of the things you have in your paragraph above about women. IMO.
Man why are you giving this woman (your ex ) so much personal power?
There is a woman out there within your horizon.
Not true for many of us women. That is why Mike Rowe is one of the sexiest men alive
