androcentrism  

Définition

  • Androcentrism is a worldview that positions males, male bodies, and male traits and achievements at the center of social, historical, and scientific value, while positioning those of females in the margins, rendering them invisible or deviant from what is considered normal. This occurs when male experiences are considered universal rather than characteristic of the male gender and has serious implications in the lives of women.
