phallogocentrism

Thank you, Judith Butler, for the New Word of the Day:

PHALLOGOCENTRISM:

In critical theory and deconstruction, phallogocentrism or phallocentrism is a neologism coined by Jacques Derrida to refer to the privileging of the masculine (phallus) in the construction of meaning.


And thank you, wise Wikipedia, for the definition.
