aGynophobia is a fear of women, mostly encompassed by men. Gynophobia more specifically is the fear or hatred (or both) of women in general, and is usually embodied by men who have the irrational notion that women are meant to cause harm and humiliation in a man's life. Men who suffer from Gynophobia don't trust women of all sorts, and tend to have "mother hating" issues as well.
Therapy for gynophobia is key, as a man hoarding such extreme irrationalities toward women prevents him from having a decent relationship with a woman, gaining trust in a woman, and keeps him from being able to encounter women in an equal setting in the workplace or other areas. Unlike the fear of men for women, where their fathers, male siblings, and other close male family members are considered safe, for men, the fear and hatred of women is usually most targeted at their own mothers, sisters, and even wives. Many men who suffer from gynophobia are deemed "woman haters". And in many cases, this is true.

professional medical advice about any treatment or change in treatment plans.
