Negative gynocentrism

Negative gynocentrism refers to an overriding worldview focused on negative behaviors of women. Gynocentrism refers to a dominant or exclusive focus on women in theory or practice. Such dominant focus on women can be positive (women are wonderful), or negative (women are destructive). Centering perspectives in positive or negative appraisals of women is by definition gyno-centrism.

The negative behaviors in question may be valid and statistically common, and become the subject of an idée fixe (fixation).

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.
