Negative gynocentrism refers to a perspective that considers men's issues (or any other issues) primarily in the way they 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.
