Negative gynocentrism refers to an overriding focus on negative behaviors of women, along with their impact on relationships and society generally.
Gynocentrism is defined as a dominant focus on women in theory or practice, and the focus can be positive (women are wonderful), or negative (women are destructive). Perspectives centered in negative appraisals of women are by definition gyno-centric, and the negative behaviors in question may be real and statistically common, while also becoming the subject of an idée fixe (ie., negative gynocentrism).
Non-gynocentric perspectives, by way of contrast, focus primarily on issues, goals, values, or interests without need to axiomatically juxtapose those things with women's behaviors or influence.
