Gynaeolatry refers to the worship of women; it may afflict both men and women. One does not need to be a straight man or a gay woman to adore women. The condition is made apparent through a person's treatment of women. A person who practices gynaeolatry will place women above themselves emotionally, intellectually, sexually, and even spiritually.
There is nothing wrong with adoring women. Some females may even love the idea. However, it can imply irrationally high expectations from these adored women. It is important to remember the humanity of each person, such that each has both good and bad qualities. This way, one can keep their gynaeolatry in check. Psychiatric intervention may help for extreme cases where gynaeolatry becomes dangerous physically or mentally for the practitioner.
