A corollary assumption is that women's lives and wants should be prioritized over those of men and children. Natural gynocentrism involves a denial of the fact that all adult humans, including women, are child-centric, gene-centric, and utilitarian toward that end, and a denial that women's evolutionary value is thus as an instrument of the child's creation and protection and not because her gender is valued <i>per se</i> outside this utilitarian function.	+	[[File:Fallacy image.jpg\|180px\|thumb\|]] The <b>Natural gynocentrism fallacy</b> refers to the belief that sexually mature women are the most important unit of the human species due to the role they play in reproduction - ie. it is a belief in which women are assumed to be more valuable to human society and to human relationships than are men and children.

 [[Hannah Wallen]], who coined the phrase <i>natural gynocentrism,</i> illustrates the fallacy as follows:
-:An example that demonstrates this is in a disaster movie where a family is on the mountainside of a volcano that is erupting, and they're trying to escape down the mountain. They take a boat through a waterway only to discover it's acidic. They've lost their ability to propel the boat and the liquid is eating through it. Grandma sacrifices herself to save the rest of the family, and she can because she's done having babies, while the other adults in the boat are actively involved in raising children. So-called "natural gynocentrism" is about children and does not contribute to or make inevitable the irrational gynocentrism we see in modern culture.<ref>Communication with Peter Wright, 29 March, 2023</ref>

 Wallen summarises that gynocentrism is not a naturally occurring phenomenon, is not inevitable, and is something that can be corrected. She states that historical gynocentric attitudes that have been been treated as natural and as the reason why gynocentrism could never be eliminated are false, and the reality is that women (and men) have child-centric & gene-centric attitudes.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Oneiorosgrip/status/1649167304981200897 Twitter comment, Apr 21, 2023]</ref>
