The Word of the Year

According to the Oxford Dictionaries, the word of the year is “post-truth.” The dictionary’s new Word of the Year is defined as “circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.”

I was thinking the word of the year was “misogynist”.  For those who might be unclear of the definition of misogynist it is defined as “a person who hates, dislikes, mistrusts, or mistreats women.”

I am not sure how those at the Oxford group determine the “word of the year”, but if through cloud sources, I would love to see this broken out by gender !
