Gynecocentric

/ˌdʒɪnɪkoʊˈsɛntrɪk/ adjective

Definition

Centered on, focused on, or emphasizing women; placing women at the center of analysis, culture, or society.

Etymology

From Greek 'gyne' (woman) and 'kentron' (center), meaning 'centered on women'—coined to describe perspectives that prioritize women's experiences.

Kelly Says

A gynecocentric view is like flipping a gynocentric society's perspective—it doesn't mean favoring women, just treating women and their viewpoints as central rather than marginal.
