Gynocentrism

The term, gynocentrism is a shorthand for white knight or plain chivalrous behaviour on a societal scale. In other words, putting women before anything else in politics and society, often to the detriment of other groups. The antonym of gynocentrism is androcentrism.
Alternatively, gynocentrism more generally means an extreme preference for the feminine in all of society; however this article deals with the first definition.
Gynocentrism, if it were in common practice actually, would mean the belief that the world should order itself around feminine gender traits (sensitivity, gentleness, gossip, leeching, dishonesty, and empathy).
==History==
Modern gynocentrism can be be traced back at least to late-Middle-Age France, but it has likely existed throughout human history with women specializing on extracting resources from men.https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men For example, women are believed to have had twice as much reproductive success throughout human history.
===Development===
Part of the tendency towards gynocentrism may also be explained by the fact that women are often perceived to have innate value (in terms of their reproductive resources) while men are often expected to perform (i.e express competence) in order to be seen as having value. The English socialist author George Orwell noted stark sex differences in the prevalence of men among the lowest social classes (see the hypergamy article).
Gynocentrism is therefore related to greater male disposability, likely owing to this sex skew in reproductive resources, due to women's greater reproductive burden, and an innate human tendency towards moderate polygyny, which renders many lower status men useless in the eyes of society.
==Examples for gynocentrism==
===The media===
Gynocentrism often means purported ideology spurring policies, institutions and ordinances that are said to disproportionately favor women over men, or the idea Modern MRAs as well as masculinists think that society has become so gynocentric that it has sparked mass misandry. Indeed, the media for example, in the western world is very gynocentric. A person who holds gynocentric views is a gynocentrist.

===Medical research favors women===
The medical field for example, solely studies gynecology and is silent on adrology, the counterpart field dealing with male health. The term gynecology on google search produces 67 million search returns, whilst andrology produces only a tenth of those search returns. JSTOR is even more lopsided, with search returns producing almost 8000% more returns for women than for men when combining the spellings of "gynaecology" and "gynecology". Where's the egalitarianism in the light of andrological issues such as tesicular cancer, prostate cancer and MGM?https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=%22gynaecology%22

===The legal system is stacked against men===
Further indicators of a societal tendencies towards gynocentrism include widespread bias against males in the legal system. For instance, Sonja Starr of the University of Michigan Law School, in a paper published in 2012 found evidence of "large gender gaps favoring women throughout the sentence length distribution (averaging over 60%), conditional on arrest offense, criminal history, and other pre-charge observables. Female arrestees are also significantly likelier to avoid charges and convictions entirely, and twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted." https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2144002 Another paper by Rehavi & Starr (2012) found that blacks on average received a 10% longer sentence than whites in the United States. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1985377 Thus, by synthesising the findings of the two papers, one can conclude that gender bias against men in the American court system (in terms of sentence length) is 6x greater than the effects of racial bias on sentencing, controlling for criminal history, and the severity of the offence.https://www.law.umich.edu/newsandinfo/features/Pages/starr_gender_disparities.aspx

===Harsher sentences for men===
Another particularly striking examine of gynocentrism is the concept of "femicide". Although defined by feminists as "" all gender-related killings of women, motivated by systematic discrimination against and devaluing of women and girls." http://www.stopvaw.org/femicide the functional purpose of this construct is to legally regard the murders of women as more grevious, and therefore deserving of harsher punishment and greater enforcement than similar acts committed against males. Feminists in various countries, notably Spainhttps://www.news24.com/World/News/murdered-for-being-women-spain-tackles-femicide-rates-20170405 and France https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49571327 have campaigned to have "femicide" recognized as a unique social problem that deserves harsher punishment and greater consideration than similar crimes perpetrated against men.
===Women and children first===
On the famous maiden (and final) voyage of the RMS Titanic, wealthy people were more likely to survive than poor people, but the richest men still had a lower survival rate (34%) than the poorest women (46%).Is There Anything Good About Men?: How Cultures Flourish by Exploiting Men, Author(s): Roy F. Baumeister, Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA, Year: 2010, ISBN: 019537410X,9780195374100 This chivalric tendency (women and children first), was also commonly known as the "Birkenhead drill", after a poem by the English poet Rudyard Kipling ("Soldier an' Sailor Too") detailing the sinking of the HMS Birkenhead. The Birkenhead was a British troop transport ship (carrying some women and children also) that sunk in 1852 upon hitting a rock off the coast off the then British colony of South Africa. As the ship lacked sufficient lifeboats, the soldiers onboard were ordered to stand at attention while the women and children made their escape on the lifeboats.http://capeinfo.com/more/myths-legends-a-old-folks-stories/568-the-wreck-of-hm-steamer-qbirkenheadq-26-feb-1852 This later became standard procedure among (British in particular) sailors, as seen in the more famous example of the Titanic, noted above.
This code of conduct favoring women's lives, which are generally seen as more valuable, over men's was also frequently applied outside of a nautical context, and indeed, was often viewed as representing obligatory behavior on behalf of men.
In recent years however, many tradcons have lamented an apparent decline in Western men who are willing to perform such self-sacrificing acts on behalf of women. For example, in his review of the French language Canadian film Polytechnique (which depicts Marc Lépine's infamous rampage targeting female engineering students), the conservative author and pundit Mark Steyn said the actions of the Canadian male students during the massacre were reflective of increasing male weakness and passivity:
 I prefer the word passivity – a terrible, corrosive, enervating passivity. Even if I'm wetting my panties, it's better to have the social norm of the Titanic and fail to live up to it than to have the social norm of the Polytechnique and sink with it. M Villeneuve dedicates his film not just to the fourteen women who died that day but also to Sarto Blais, a young man at the Polytechnique who hanged himself eight months later. Consciously or not, the director understands what the heart of this story is: not the choice of one man, deformed and freakish, but the choice of all the others, the nice and normal ones. He shows us the men walking out twice – first, in real time, as it were; later, Rashomon-style, from the point of view of the women, in the final moments of their liveshttps://www.steynonline.com/8312/polytechnique.
A study by Reynolds (2019), identified a large societal bias against men and an overall ignorance toward male suffering.https://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/AMBPP.2019.15459abstract
===More young men than women are single and sexless===
Across many modern countries, men in their twenties face more sexlessness and are more often single. Bluepillers and tradcucks will say this is right because men bloom later, but there is no denial that men experience more loneliness during their prime time as a result of weak marriage norms and late marriage.
