Gynocentrism as a narcissistic pathology - Part two
Abstract
Part one of this paper surveyed features of grandiose narcissism and gynocentrism and found significant correlation. Part two investigates vulnerable narcissism as an additional mode of enacting gynocentric behaviour and discusses how this might impact men’s wellbeing and gendered relationships. This survey confirms that gynocentrism is characterised by features of both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism and concludes that gynocentrism poses significant burdens for relationships and male partners.
