Misogynist and Misogynistic relationships

             Opening the book Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them by Dr. Susan
             Forward and Joan Torres, I thought that it would be one more boring psychological book written in
             difficult language with advanced terminology and impractical advice. Therefore, from the first
             pages of the book I was very much surprised to discover a vivacious and colorful style of writing

             that she defines as misogyny. This is not about somebody who has a bad mood once in a while.
             But about someone who uses his anger in very demeaning, belittling, frightening ways, who grinds
