Androphobia.

Sparked by the reaction by feminists to Janice Fiamengo's attempts to address feminism at Queen's University, I've been contemplating the irrational fear of men, and how it drives most feminist discourse.

And I found something interesting. A first stop at wiki, to see what it had on the subject, pulled up a huge amount of nothing. Seriously, here's the entire wikipedia entry on androphobia, minus the header and links and crap.

Androphobia is the abnormal fear of men.^[1][2][3] The word is derived from the Greek άνήρ (man) and φόβος (fear).^[4][5]

That has got to be the smallest wikipedia entry I've ever seen. Let's take a look at gynophobia.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Androphobia. From the previous article on AVFM:

Shortly after we were seated two of the organizers introduced Friedman. The introduction, without any exaggeration on my behalf, without any attempt at hyperbole, was completely apeshit crazy – utterly insane. I mean waking up in the morning and eating raw chicken breast off the floor insane. Presumably referring to d’Entremont’s alleged attack, the speaker for some reason actually began crying, and immediately set to work on whipping the audience into a paranoid terror – “as we were deciding whether or not to hold this event, we talked a lot about safety – and fear,” she said, while sobbing. It was a theme that was constantly reinforced throughout the event. On two separate occasions women referred to their “fear” and began sobbing uncontrollably.

So. Was it truly irrational fear of men, or an attempt to damsel? I don't know, I wasn't there. But I do know that people who are whipped into a state of irrational fear are both dangerous and capable of some pretty nutty things.
