I am a misogynist by normie standards. But I do not hate women at all in reality…

The writer has demonstrated many times that he is a thorough gentleman, so this post puzzled me. And it seemed to me surprising, he did not know the meaning of the word “misogynist”, but I was wrong. He was using it in some sort of a different sense.

To me saying 
“I am a misogynist … But I do not hate women” 
is like saying 
“I am a canine but I am not a dog”.

To complicate matters the word “normie” is unfamiliar to me, as also the expression “normie standards” makes no sense to me. I am still working that out.

But how many meanings has the word “misogyny”. 
Only one, as far as I can decipher.

Etymonline tells us:
misogyny (n.)
"hatred of women," 1650s, from Modern Latin misogynia, from Greek misogynia, 
abstract noun from misogynēs "woman-hater,"

from miso- "hatred" (see miso-) + gynē "woman" (from PIE root *gwen-"woman").
 
I have just discovered that I possibly could be a misoneist "hater of novelty", especially as far as language goes.

Now the question of “normie” is for another post maybe. Can anyone enlighten me?

Oh, here's some more gyn words.

androgynous; gynarchy; gynecology; gynecomastia; polygyny.

Interestingly enough the Australian aboriginals refer to their women as gins.

Normie is just internet slang for ordinary people. Usually it's used by 4chan types to refer to people who don't use their site or else people who haven't been "redpilled" so to speak, but in this case that guy meant normie as in someone who drank the feminist kool-aid - which is the vast majority of regular Joes out there these days.

He recognised that it's not the proper definition of misogyny. What he's saying is that according to how they misuse it(to mean anyone who's not a feminist), that he'd be a misogynist according to their false definition.

Forlorn is correct about what I meant. I do have a fondness for the term "normie". It is internet slang. As I understand it, "normie" is a word used by members of counter-cultural or isolated or marginalized groups to refer to regular people who are not a part of those groups and do not understand them. I believe I am fond of the term because I consider myself to be isolated and marginalized and not "normal" in the eyes of society. So as traditional Catholics, we could call Novus Ordo Catholics "normies" or "normie Catholics". The term may or may not be derogatory, but I generally don't take it to be an insult like the term "NPC." I learned the word from Youtube. There is a member there whose videos I watch who considers himself to be a part of the "Forever Alone" community which is a group of mostly troubled men who have difficulty having relationships with women and are lonely. He sometimes calls regular people who have relationships "normies" and talks about how they often do not understand lonely men and have contempt for them and offer bad advice.

Thank you, Forlorn, for your explanation. Much appreciated. Though I must say that I still needed to decipher some of the language you have used even in this explanation. Sometimes I feel like I have fallen down a rabbit hole, like Alice. It is all so foreign! I need to employ an interpreter, what with 4chan, red-pilled kool-aid, normie. I'm not meant for this world!
