androcídio
Explanation:
"Viricídio" has a different meaning, which is the killing of viruses. So I have made up this term, I can't think of anything better.

agree  Artur Jorge Martins: Trata-se de um neologismo inserido numa categoria mais vasta, o "genderside", ou extermínio de um dos géneros. Se existe "feminicídio", porque não "androcídio"?

viricide
viricida


Explanation:
é uma declinação do termo ginecida que foi muito usado por feministas para designar a morte de mulheres por actos condenados em nome de uma moral ou religião ou ligados a uma etnia. Quando o termo passou a ser utilizado em relação a homens que passaram a ser as vítimas, passou a usar-se viricidas
