Gynophobia affects males in that they are unable to live a "normal" life, to interact with women, to feel comfortable around women, and their attitude and idea of what a woman is, often is the reverse of the norm.
Although the usual perpetrator of the abuse in a male life is a mother, teacher, member of the family, babysitter or friend, there have been known cases where a young teenager has gotten involved with mentally unstable, physically or psychologically abusive and domineering young women.
