androcentrism
Androcentrism is the practice of placing male experiences and perspectives at the center of analysis, often leading to the marginalization of women and non-binary individuals. This bias can be seen in various fields, including history, literature, and science, where male viewpoints are often considered the norm.
In an androcentric society, cultural norms and values are typically shaped by male experiences, which can result in the exclusion or misrepresentation of women's contributions. This can perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce gender inequality, affecting everything from media representation to workplace dynamics.
