Negative gynocentrism refers to an overriding focus on the way issues are impacted by negative behaviors of women.
Gynocentrism in its most generic definition refers to a dominant or exclusive focus on women in theory or practice. Such dominant focus can be positive (I worship women), or negative (I loathe women). Centering multiple perspectives in positive or negative appraisals of women is by definition gyno-centrism, as displayed by some men who take this kind of centering as their primary or only orientation.
Non-gynocentric perspectives, by way of contrast, focus primarily on men's issues, goals, values, or interests without the need to axiomatically juxtapose those things with women's needs, wants, presence or failures.
