Negative gynocentrism

Negative gynocentrism refers to a tendency to axiomatically juxtapose men's issues with negative appraisals of women's behaviors.

Gynocentrism in its most generic definition refers to a dominant or exclusive focus on women in theory or practice. That focus can be positive (I worship women), or negative (I loathe women). Centering in either fawning over women, or rejecting them, is by definition gyno-centrism, as displayed by some men (not all) who take this kind of centering as their primary or only orientation.

Non-gynocentric men's movements focus primarily on men - on their issues, dreams, values, interests - without the need to axiomatically juxtapose those things with women's needs, wants or presence.
