"Popular Misogyny" is a term coined by feminist media scholar, Sarah Banet-Weiser. Popular Misogyny refers to the prevalent backlash from patriarchal culture against women in response to the wide circulation of feminism in popular media. Banet-Weiser created the term to address the need to understand misogyny not as an inevitable expression of "boys being boys" but as a zeitgeist that reflects the cultural moment that encourages and condones greater aggression, violence, and threats against women due to hypervisibility and acceptance of feminism in popular culture and media.
