PHALLOCENTRISM — [Noun] A doctrine or ideology that centers on the phallus, often emphasizing male dominance or perspective in social and cultural structures. From phallo- (Greek phallos, "phallus") + -centrism (Greek kentron, "center"), it is the elevation of masculine potency to an organizing principle. Unlike "gynocentrism" (which inverts the focus onto female primacy) or "androcentrism" (which generalizes male perspective without the phallic weight), phallocentrism is a symbolic regime—less about bodies than about power. It is the skyscraper piercing the horizon, the obelisk standing sentinel over a plaza, the father’s name inherited like a crown; a world where authority is not just male but erect, unyielding, and perpetually in need of proving itself. The tragedy is how easily we mistake dominance for order.
