Natural gynocentrism is the fallacious belief that sexually mature women are the most important entities in the human community due to the part they play in reproduction - ie. women are assumed more valuable to human society and relationships than are men and children. A corollary assumption is that women's lives and wants should be prioritized over those of men, children and the body politic.
Natural gynocentrism involves the denial or ignorance of the fact that all adult humans, including women, are child-centric, gene-centric, and utilitarian toward that end. Woman's evolutionary value is thus as an instrument of the child's creation & protection and not because her gender, in and of itself, is valued outside this utilitarian function.
Individuals who believe we "can't overcome natural gynocentrism" have failed to see that women's role in reproduction is actually the opposite of other forms of gynocentris, because it involves treating women like men - in the sense that they are as only important because of what we (can and/or are expected to) do.
