No matter where you look in the multiple facets of our country’s culture and our current events, male dominance can be, well, quite dominant and overbearing. Patriarchy—which is the conceptualization of how men, especially cis men, and masculinity are seen as better than, are more respected than, and hold more privileges than women and nonbinary people or femininity—permeates nearly every aspect of our lives. Although patriarchy is set up in a way to benefit men, it can also hurt men in many ways, as men are under the constant scrutiny of the fabricated norms that patriarchy has put in place. What many men don’t like to admit, or maybe even don’t know, is that a lot of what feminism represents can directly affect the harm that patriarchal norms cause for men. Below are seven ways the patriarchy we experience daily in the United States actively (or passively) hurt men, and how feminism can actually help men move past the flawed structures of patriarchy in order to achieve a level of self-love and self-actualization that isn’t hindered by unrealistic masculine expectations. 1.Reflectiveness: As we’ve talked about in other articles on TBINAA, there are certain aspects to the norms of masculinity that make men feel uncomfortable exploring certain parts of their own lives, minds, and personalities. A big aspect of upholding the norms of masculinity is that men often don’t put too much effort into questioning or reflecting on such norms, let alone how their own actions affect others.
