I firmly believe misanthropy/misogyny is a clear sign of poor social skills, and it's just a projection of the hated person.
Schopenhauer, for example, thought everyone should worship him because of how awesome he was. He was by all accounts extremely unpleasant, reason why he grew up to become a bitter old man who hated everything, everyone, and everyall, if only this last word existed. Nietzsche, who was terrible with women, would often lambaste everything female severely... no wonder he couldn't bonk the one woman he loved (other than his - eeeww! - sister). I've yet to find someone who has great social skills, knows how to deal with people (and/or specifically the other sex), and hates them.
Thankfully, professional help can easily "fix" this.
