Summary/Abstract: Today, discussions about women are shaped by gender norms, forced marriages, gender inequality, girls’ education and the victimization of women in society. Studies conducted throughout history show that women’s daily place in society, their rights and the roles attributed to them have been subject to criticism in the past. Traditional norms, under male rules, have encouraged degrading, exclusionary and hateful behavior towards women. Over the years, “sexism” methods have been used to spread the degrading and humiliating situation of the female gender. However, today it seems that a more complex definition is needed. Although sexism is compatible with sexism based on gender, it describes a more comprehensive and severe situation. Today, misogyny is the reason for women’s economic, political and social exclusion and restriction in terms of identity and personality. It is thought that this study will contribute to defining misogyny in daily life and raising awareness.
