Misogynists

Misogynists are characters (mostly villains) known for chauvinism and/or misogyny. It can be physical or emotional abuse specifically towards women, or it may be a deep-rooted prejudice against equal rights. A misogynist may see girls and women as evil, debased, or even subhuman and mere objects. The level of misogyny can vary from a sexist attitude to outright murder (some serial-killers).

Although associated mainly with males, it is possible for females to be misogynists as well (examples being Giffany and Jane Tiptree). The female counterpart of misogyny is misandry, women hating men. To put it bluntly, misogynists are characters who abuse, mistreat, and/or dominate over women and girls because of their gender. A villain who hurt females for reasons that are unrelated to gender doesn't count.
