Content: One of the most negative aspects of the patriarchal norms of masculinity is the tendency for men to constantly be in competition with each other. Almost every aspect of many men’s lives is shrouded by the need to see themselves as better than other men, or other people in general. This includes physically, such as working out for the specific intent of having bigger muscles, better abs, or more strength than other men, or intellectually, where men will feel the need to “mansplain” a topic to women, even if the women they’re talking to are more knowledgeable on the topic than they are. So much of the actions men take and the way men think are related to the desire to be better than others. It’s a much different story in the world of feminism. Despite the many stereotypes of women being overly competitive with each other, feminism has been developed around the notion of community and solidarity being pertinent aspects of achieving self-love and self-care. It is much more important for feminists to create a strong community of like-minded and caring individuals than it is to automatically push away or compete with others. Feminists are much more interested in creating a space that feels safe and comfortable for as many people as possible.
