Phallocratic, a term derived from the Greek word phallos meaning 'penis', refers to a patriarchal system where men hold dominant positions of power over women. Opposing this misogynistic approach towards gender, one can use the antonyms feminine, egalitarian or matriarchal to describe a system that puts women at the forefront. Feminine attributes include nurturing, inclusive and empathetic qualities, which promote a more balanced and empathetic society. Egalitarianism is premised on equality, with no group holding power over another. Matriarchal is a social system in which power is held by women, often through kinship ties, and is common in various cultures such as the Mosuo community in China. Thus, these antonyms present alternative ways of thinking and living, away from phallocratic thinking.
