	Against Separatism
		In contrast to gynocentric feminism, the basic assumption of androgynist feminism is that the social role differences between the sexes have little or no basis in biological differences;(18) they are social constructions which can be changed by concerted effort.
		Gynocentric feminism asserts that one's identity is fixed by one's biological sex, and that one has no role in constructing the core of one's identity.
		Despite all of its subtle insights and self-awareness, she in effect tacitly assumes a gynocentric framework by assuming her audience to be entirely female.

		At any rate, as far as the word "gynocentrism" is concerned, Wiktionary.org has a definition that I think is appropriate: "An ideological focus on females and women, and issues affecting them, possibly to the detriment of non-females.
		Basically, I have shown that there are two kinds of gynocentrism: feminism (with all its leftist connotations) and the more mainstream quasi-traditionalism (the New Chivalry).
		Both kinds of gynocentrism are not mutually exclusive; rather, they form a continuum on which individuals and groups may be widely distributed.

		Both the chapters "Equality" and "Difference" prove to be valuable reading not only for social scientists, but also for readers working with theories of literature, expanding uncritical and mono-dimensional views on the equality-difference debates that have influenced discourses on gender.
		Hughes explains major standpoints of gynocentrism, identity politics and postmodernism and also refers to the key thinkers that students should be familiar with.
		The author devotes most of the space to postmodernism and poststructuralism, as in contrast to other approaches, "Postmodern critiques note that there are as many claims to 'truth' as there are different language games and discourses" (65).

		He succeeded in forming a gynocentric vision for Champourcín, Méndez, Conde, Concha Zardoya's poetry.
		John Wilcox maintains that it is the gynocentrism and gynocriticism in the women writers' work and the lack of conformity to the hegemonic style and androcentric vision of the literature of the 1920s and 1930s that caused their recession from the male writers.
		In his descriptive as well as prescriptive treatise on modernist art La Deshumanización del Arte, the paternal figure for Spanish vanguardism, José Ortega y Gasset, states that modernist art is and should be dehumanized and writers should distract their attention from the human reality in order to enter into the ludic purity.

		One, exemplified by Catharine MacKinnon’s account of the social construction of sexuality, "stress[es] the depths of women’s oppression." The second, expressed in selections from Carol Gilligan and Nancy Chodorow, gives a more positive spin on the norms of femininity, or at least describes them in terms more neutral than MacKinnon’s account.
		A third expression of gynocentrism is represented by standpoint epistemology.
		The fourth section of The Second Wave concerns differences among women and introduces the problematizing of the concept of woman, a theme which extends through the fifth and last section of the text, which centers on the problem of essentialism.

		[Questions of the week] I prefer the label “gynocentric.” A gynocentric novel is one in which the social dynamics emanate from the relationships and represented subjectivities of female characters.
		That brings me to point two in my list of what makes this a gynocentric novel: Janie is in possession of a sexual identity founded on the fulfillment of her own desires.
		By this point in the novel Janie and Tea Cake together have created a relationship that replaces her silence and his blows with the “civilized” sublimation that is talk.

	Analytic Feminism
		They tend to be wary of creating specialized fields/types of philosophy that are relevant only to (some or all) women or feminists, for example, feminine ethics, gynocentric ethics, or lesbian ethics (for a variety of positions in feminine and feminist ethics see Feminist Ethics.
		The first thing that naturalized epistemology can do is to shift the focus from the abstract or idealized knower to the concrete facets of the person who has beliefs and knowledge.
		Duran is one of the few feminists who explicitly combines feminist standpoint theory with analytically oriented naturalized epistemology, and is an exception to the widespread tendency of analytic feminists to stay clear of gynocentrism.

	Feminist Theory Course
		We will begin by considering whether there is a tenable distinction between sex and gender, what it means to say that a category is socially constructed, and how social constructions can be oppressive.
		We will then take up representative samples of three feminist theoretical approaches (the Humanist approach, the Gynocentric approach, and the Dominance approach), together with sample political applications of them.
		The latter part of the course develops a critique of attempts to provide a single systematic feminist framework, drawing on a greater recognition of women's diversity; this critique will lead us to rethink the project of feminist theory and to consider what new paths feminist theorizing might hope to take.

		However, Madame Colb does determine that Feminists for Life cannot be a pro-woman group because it does not support Madame Colb's fanatical gynocentric left-wing ideology.
		In calling itself a "feminist" group, FFL is therefore misleading as well, suggesting as the name does that the group's priority is improving the lives of women, rather than curtailing an option, whatever the circumstances.
		When gynocentric garbage like Sherry Colb is considered some sort of "professor," Americans should be afraid about the state of higher education in our country.

		On the other hand, she indicts Western feminists for committing violence through their claims to authority to gaze upon and write about female Algerian others.
		She concludes that Western gynocentrism that claims the power to interpret the lived reality of Algerian women has led to the "essentialism of otherhood" (338).
		Lazreg casts doubt about whether anyone ever can mediate the inherent power in the research relationship without violating the "other." This is undoubtedly a central concern for collaborative feminist research projects, including my own.

	Ambiguous Media ::
		It would seem that these feminists wish to retain a female subjectivity else risk the momentum of their political movement.
		However I suggest that this is restricting their project precisely because this re-figuration of subjectivity is exclusive to female subjects, and that this amounts to a move towards a form of ‘gynocentrism.’
		If we are to become nomadic, to transgress the dualistic restraints traditional western of subjectivity through a rethinking of embodiment, then the conflicts arising through the reinsertion of the male/female distinction must be questioned.

		Her quarrel is with the "Second Wave" or "gender" feminists who have abandoned universalism for gynocentrism and traded enfranchisement for seemingly permanent victim status.
		Solidarity with women has come to mean hostility to men, and particularly to that alleged system of male dominance: the "heteropatriarchy."
		In parallel fashion, Sommers closes her book with a defense of Rhett Butler's ravishment of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind." More particularly, she defends the many women who persist in "taking pleasure in Scarlett's enraptured submission" and hence decline the proffered feminist makeover of desire.

		In fact, O'Brien went on to claim, precisely by recognising Cather's lesbianism openly and forthrightly, it became possible for the modern reader to regard her sympathetically - as a kind of underground feminist-in-the-making.
		Cather was a victim of patriarchal attitudes, to be sure, but in that her deepest emotional commitments were to women, and her fiction full of the coded signs of hidden 'gynocentrism', she might be forgiven her less flattering comments on her own sex.
		One could even consider her, paradoxically, a sort of sexual heroine: someone who sought, courageously, to channel her unorthodox erotic yearnings into artistic creativity of the highest order.

		Recently, more positive reasons have been proposed for a mainly female readership.
		Focusing on the novels’ representations of strong and erotically powerful women, Brigitte Egger has argued that the five ‘ideal’ Greek novels operate on a principle of ‘practical androcentrism’; but ‘emotional gynocentrism’.
		Her analyses, drawing on the reader-response theories of Jauss and Iser, of how the internal structures of the texts might invite interest and identification from women readers, are significant contributions to our appreciation and understanding of the narratives’ textual strategies.
