Natural gynocentrism

Natural gynocentrism is the fallacious belief that sexually mature women are the most important entities in the human species due to the role they play in reproduction - ie. women are assumed to be more valuable to human society and to human relationships than are men and children. A corollary assumption is that women's lives and wants should be prioritized over those of men and children. Natural gynocentrism involves the denial 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 gynocentrism, and that women's evolutionary role involves treating women like men - in the sense that women are as only important because of what they (can and/or are expected to) do.
