Sure, the word "misogyny" literally means "hated of women" but that's not what the word actually means anymore. No word means just it's literally definition with no context or implications, otherwise "terrific" would still mean "frightening".
Misogyny does include the hated of women, but it has grown from that very small definition to become an umbrella term that includes all thoughts and behaviors that stem from the idea that women are inherently different from and inferior to men by virtue of the fact of their biology. Lady brains, girl dinner, you throw like a girl, etc etc, are all examples of misogyny because they all stem from the idea that people born female are inferior BECAUSE they were born the female sex.
Biological essentialism (or biological determinism), is the idea that behaviors, interests or abilities are biologically pre-determined, rather than shaped by society
Biological essentialism is the idea that behavior is based on sex. Misogyny is attitudes and behaviors that stem from the idea that behavior is based on sex. QED - Biological essentialism is a form of misogyny.
