could be Greeked as misandronist, using andro for man. It's very rare, but I have found a couple of examples in online messages. It seems to be from the more extreme end of the feminist spectrum. Terry Walsh has told me firmly that this word is way off beam: "misandronist, if it means anything, means someone who is against the idea of there being rooms or clubs reserved for men, which is derived from andron, the men's room in an ancient Greek house, into which women could not go". So that's a potentially useful word, but not the one we were looking for. A better modern Greek term for a man-hater is misandrist, though it's hardly common and appears in only a few dictionaries, with the noun for the concept being, as you'd expect, misandry.
