Hi Matthew, the most obvious film I can think of in which the main character is a misanthropes is a Mike Leigh (?) film called Naked. It came out a few years ago, is a British film, and the lead character probably hates women as equally as he seems to hate himself. It was a very disturbing film, but perfect for what you are looking for.
