Feminist theory has explored the social construction of masculinity and its implications for the goal of gender equality. Masculinity is seen as a problematic gender role that associates males with aggression and competition, and which reinforces patriarchy and unequal gender relations. The concept of masculinity is also seen as harmful to men by narrowing their life choices, limiting their sexuality, and blocking full emotional connections with women and other men. Some feminists are engaged with men''s issues activism, such as correcting legal and social imbalances in regard to father''s rights, bringing attention to male rape and spousal battery, and addressing negative social expectations for men.
