'male-centered' originates from the combination of 'male' and 'centered', where 'male' refers to the male gender and 'centered' means focused or concentrated on.

The term 'male-centered' evolved from the concept of 'male dominance' in societal structures, emphasizing a focus on male perspectives.

Initially, it meant 'focused on men', but over time it evolved to imply a lack of consideration for women.
