Gynocentrism

Gynocentrism is a dominant or exclusive focus on women in theory or practice.[1] Anything can be gynocentric when it is considered exclusively with a female or feminist point of view in mind.[2] The opposite practice, placing the masculine point of view at the centre, is androcentrism.
