Why is androcentrism a good thing?

Update:

I agree with most of what you say. Literally, MRAs are androcentric - i.e. they are centred around men. Figuratively, you ignore that fact and concentrate on the emotional association with the ending "-centric", which you view as "bad". Men have to be androcentric to conquer feminist gynacentrism!

Update 2:

The comment below should have been edited before I posted it, because it was directed at an answerer to a previous question. Sorry about that!

Update 3:

If you look at issues from a pro-male point of view, you're being androcentric, which is a good thing -- otherwise Feminists' Feminazi gynecentrism takes over the whole of society -- which it has already done.

    depends what you mean by it but we need to learn to analyze gender relations from the male perspective but I think it's important to consider things from all different perspectives, so the gynocentric lense feminism looks through it's fine I think but to be fair you have to look at all sides

    It probably isn't. But gynocentrism is worse, and that's what's prevalent in our society today.

    It's a word few know about or how to spell.

    It's not. Feminists' gynocentrism and tunnel vision are their worst characteristics.

    Echoing them in reverse means someone is even MORE stupid than the spectacular idiots they're supposedly "making a point about."

    As I keep having to point out to your feminist counterparts, "getchaback" is NEVER the solution -- especially when the ones you're "getting back" never did anything to you.

    Androcentrism is idiocy, all right, but not idiocy squared like gynocentrism is -- it's idiocy CUBED.

    You speak of the individual habits of people, and what they are used too, by the way it makes them feel. Each person has a right to their own, with the Law...the Law, being the main point about it. As long as it is all good about the way each person feels, and what they do with it, it isn't a problem. To each their own, is all there is to it.

    Disturbing the peace about it, is a different story which does affect all people, directly, or indirectly, and no one wants it, not even the person doing it, would want it done to them. Unfairness isn't a smart way of handling things.

    Androcentrism is a horrible thing - it about being even more unfair to women - crushing them if possible. The world has been dominated my men forever and women have been marginalized and still that is too much for androcentics - they complain and complain iF women speak up at all and crythat they world has too much feminist gynacentrism!!!!! when men still dominate all power positions and most of the world's finances - basically control almost everything - but that is not enough for these sleazy selfish unethical nasty sexist bigots - who sound just like Hitler - next they are going to send women to gas chamber now for merely speaking - they don't want women to speak - they want to shut us down - stomp on us - they want women as doormats - to crush their heels into if they want fairness - really vile!
