androcentrism and the philosophy of science  

Definición

  • The term androcentrism derives from the Greek andros genitive of aner (), for “man” or “male.” This word and its variant androcentric are used to describe perspectives, research, theories, and methods that emphasize the behavior, activities, or experiences of males, and minimize or exclude those of females, although the research or theory might be understood to be gender neutral. Since the mid-1970s, feminist scientists and philosophers of science have argued that androcentrism is common in the methods, research questions, and hypotheses advanced in the biological, biobehavioral, and social sciences and that its presence is consequential.
