Androcentrism
Androcentrism describes a view of the world that places men and masculinity at the centre and sets them as the norm. Androcentrism is associated with a dichotomous gender relationship. Accordingly, women are conceptualised as others, as non-men. The standardisation of men goes hand in hand with the universalisation of the male perspective as neutral; man is actually man. Historically, this can be seen, for example, in civil and human rights declarations. Although these claimed to apply to ‘all people’, they excluded women and non-white men.
