Misogyny does mean hatred of women. Many dictionaries, including the oldest and most widely referenced American English dictionary, have that as the ONLY definition, so the assertion that this is the ONLY definition is not without merit and is provable. In order to get your "or" you had to reference international dictionaries(some of which don't even include the "or" in the principal definition) to even remotely support the assertion and even then is without merit. Every single definition you provided requires conscious thought or belief, which even you slipped up and alluded to. Seems like a helluva lot of effort to obfuscate. Since this is obviously going nowhere besides ad nauseum, I'm going to end this whether you do or not. When you believe I'm "wrong" and need to admit it simply because you don't agree, it's pretty obvious you have zero interest in substantive discussion.
Cheers!
