Negative gynocentrism refers to an overriding focus on negative behaviors of women, along with their impact on relationships and society generally.

Gynocentrism is defined as a dominant or exclusive focus on women in theory or practice, and can take a positive form (women are wonderful), or a negative form (women are destructive). Worldviews centered in negative appraisals of women are 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 need to axiomatically juxtapose those things with women's needs, wants, presence or failures.
