gynocrat — e.g., “I am not only a feminist — I am a gynocrat.” — q.v. Martin Amis [1]; etymology doubtful, poss. from Gk. gyno- comb. form of gynē “woman” + Fr. -crate, back-formation from -cratie, from Gk. -kratia “power, rule”; or poss. from Tw. gy- intensive prefix, sense of “abject” or “grovelling” + Tw. -nocrat “retard”.
