Gynophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of women.
This phobia has been linked to the Amazon women in classical Athens and
medieval witch hunts. It was also once
thought to be the cause of homosexuality in the 20th century. This phobia is similar to Caligynephobia,
which is more specifically the fear of beautiful women. Gynophobia is also known as Gynephobia.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
