I can (kind of) understand racism. If you don't grow up, go to school, etc. with other races, they are "the unknown", "the other". I am not saying it is good by any means but I can see how it happens.
Misogyny though? That makes no sense to me. Pretty much everyone had a mom and a lot of people have sisters. Unless your grew up in Sparta, respecting women should inculcated by the time you you get old enough to work with women.

If the few women you had in your life as a kid were awful people, you could have subconsciously picked gender as an identifying marker of being an awful person. Add some teenage sexual frustration and bruised ego, mix, and let stew in your head for a few years.
