the word "bimisogyny" is made up of the words "bi" and "misogyny".
the need for this term is due to "biphobia" alone is sometimes not accurate enough to describe how deeply bi women and people of other marginalized genders are uniquely affected by the intersection of both biphobia and misogyny.
bimisogyny includes violence, fetishisation, objectification, victim blaming, slutshaming, dehumanisation, sexual harrasment and hate and is closely intertwined with biphobia and transphobia


"bimisogyny" is a relatively new term, with it's first recorded use in the article
"Erasure, Exclusion by Inclusion, and the Absence of Intersectionality: Introducting Bisexuality in Education" by maria palotta-chiarolli which was first published in the "journal of bisexuality" in 2014.
"Mary-Anne [McAllum] and I use the term bi-misogyny in our work: Mary-Anne [McAllum] in referring to the
discriminative behavior against bisexual young women, and myself in relation to patriarchal behaviors and attitudes that some bisexual men display toward their women partners (see Pallotta-Chiarolli,
2014). Neither of us can recall, nor find, the original use of this term."
today, mary-anne mcallum's definition has been widely accepted and is being used in the bisexual activist community.


examples of bimisogyny include but are not limited to:- objectification: thinking we are unicorns and sexual objects to use and dispose of- slut shaming and victim blaming: calling us misogynistic slurs ("biwhore", "bislut"), sexual harrassing us with pornographic descriptions, making jokes about bi women being victims of psysical and sexual violence, saying its deserved or wishing it would happen more often- demonisation: blaming us for the actions of heterosexuals and cis men, and saying we are bad just as them or worse, considering everything bisexual women do or say as a manifestation of a fetish, saying we are predators, abusers, rapists, cheaters ect.
