Philandry is fondness, love, or admiration towards men. Its antonym is misandry.

Etymology

Philandry comes from philo- (loving) and Greek andro (man). The parallel Greek-based terms with respect to women (females) are philogyny for "fondness towards women" and misogyny for "hatred of women". Parallel terms for humanity generally are philanthropy and misanthropy.
