Androphobia is a specific phobia describing an intense and irrational fear of men. It can manifest as anxiety in the mere presence of male individuals, avoidance of situations where men are likely to be present, and physical symptoms typical of a panic response. The term refers to the fear response itself, distinct from the trauma that may sometimes underlie it.
