- Alloglottic (feminine) — The feminine form of aloglot; a woman or female community speaking a language other than the majority or official language of the geographical area where she resides. It can also describe an immigrated female population that uses its mother tongue in private environments while adapting to the host society's linguistic norms.
- Female anarchist — The feminine form for the term anarchist; a woman, militant, or activist who adheres to the principles and values of anarchism, fighting for the abolition of oppressive institutional hierarchies and government control. As an adjective, it represents the feminine gender form describing an organization, ideology, magazine, or movement of a deeply anti-authoritarian, decentralized character based on autonomous social emancipation.
- Androcentrism — A conscious or unconscious perspective that places masculine viewpoints, experiences, and values at the center of culture, history, and society, regarding them as the universal standard for the human species. This structural model tends to marginalize or completely ignore feminine contributions and viewpoints, defining them as secondary or deviations from the general neutral norm.
- Androphilic — A person who exhibits exclusive romantic, aesthetic, or sexual attraction toward adult men or masculinity. In a rare biological or entomological sense, it describes organisms, parasites, or insects that exhibit a structural behavioral preference for male hosts or environments heavily populated by men.
- Androphilia — A stable sexual, romantic, or affective attraction toward men or traits associated with masculinity, regardless of the biological sex of the person experiencing it. This structural concept is widely used in gender research and sexology as a taxonomically neutral alternative to traditional sexual orientation terms.
- Androgyny — The state or characteristic of an individual or organism that structurally combines physical, psychological, or reproductive traits specific to both sexes in the same body. In the context of contemporary psychology and sociology, the concept represents the balanced and fluid integration of masculine and feminine gender roles or identities, eliminating rigid visual and behavioral boundaries.
- Androlatress — A person (especially female) who exhibits a blind, exaggerated, and often pathological admiration for men or who unconditionally venerates masculinity and its attributes. In the context of structural social analysis, the term describes a behavior of voluntary psychological subordination to male authority, elevated to the status of a cult.
- Androlatry — An exaggerated veneration, idolization, or pathological cult of men or characteristics specific to masculinity. As a structural social phenomenon, this manifestation places the male element in a sacred or intangible position within the value system, often generating major imbalances in interpersonal and community relations.
- Androlatrous — A person who exhibits a blind, exaggerated, and often pathological admiration for men or who unconditionally venerates masculinity and its attributes. In the context of structural social analysis, the term describes a behavior or predisposition of voluntary psychological subordination to male authority, elevated to the status of a cult.
