Gynowife
A Gynowife refers to a women who adheres to either the traditional gynocentric role (#Tradwife-2) and expects her husband to adhere to a gynocentric perspective, or alternatively to the modern feminist insistence that wives should dominate and set the tempo of all relationship matters and the men should simply fall into line instead of mansplaining etc. Whether of the traditionalist or feminist variety, the Gynowife implies a Gynohusband who sacrifices a significant amount of his own self-interest in service to his wife's interests and wellbeing. By way of contrast, Tradhusbands and Modhusbands don’t need to defer to wives on all matters – they have some agency.[1]
