Examples of anti-feminine and pro-feminine reasoning with Otto Weininger, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schopenhauer, Aristotle, Simone de Beauvoir, Pierre Bourdieu, Harriet Taylor Mill and John Stuart Mill. Review of these theories points to the need to respect distinction (physical) characteristics of sex and (culture defined) characteristic of the gender when analyzing differences and similarities between the sexes, as well as the need for insight into the mechanism (or mechanisms)of connection between the nature of social perception and gender stereotypes, whose existence is an indicator, and one of the causes of hatred towards women.
