Misogyny and Male Privilege Since many centuries there has been this ingrained idea that males are the more dominant half of humankind. The question is whether this is actually true or whether it’s just one of the society’s preconceived notions. Misogyny and male privilege are words that go together as they help explain each other. Misogyny is the word given to the ingrained idea that females are lower in society. It is this idea that also leads the to idea that males are more privileged.

I believe the way Huxley portrays and treats the female population reflects the inequalities in gender and misogyny in the early 20th century society which the novel was written in. I have read and analysed articles on this matter and have found them to all generally agree with my hypothesis.
