The aim of this work is to show the elements required for building a public policy agenda that will incorporate men in the construction of gender equality. It is based on multimethod and multi-stage research, with the participation of professionals from academia, civil society and in public service working on subjects connected to men and masculinities in Mexico, and proposes a structure for the agenda with five thematic axes (violence, health, shared responsibility, cultural norms and vulnerability), two transverse axes (social inequality and development), and two principles (human rights and social justice).

The goal of this essay is to contribute to the study of public policies, specifically those oriented towards the promotion of shared responsibility between men and women in care work, both from a human rights approach and a gender perspective. We will quickly revise Gendes’ story and its theoretical-practical approach used with the private sector, to finally sum up our experiences and challenges of our interventions.

Drawing on a qualitative content analysis of 76 “day of eating” vlogs, this article explores how cis men adhering to the “If It Fits Your Macros” diet dynamically negotiate the meanings of their eating habits and their bodies to bolster their claims to hegemonic masculinity. Employing Foucault’s theory of disciplinary technologies and critical masculinities scholarship, the analysis serves as a case study of how the body work of dieting men reinforces normative discourses of masculinity. While dieting has previously been framed as a “technology of femininity,” this article argues that dieting similarly operates as an embodied practice through which men perform masculinities. Extending the literature on the subjective experiences of dieting men, I suggest that men navigate the ostensibly “feminine” terrain of dieting by via repertoires of self-discipline and embattlement against fat. Using these discursive tools, men portray dieting as a moral-aesthetic project that bolsters and secures their own hegemonic constructions of masculine status.

As the U.S. single-father population expands, we explore how fans of Single Parents (ABC, 2018–2020) responded to its three single-father characters, each of whom evoke a distinct trope. Viewers use Twitter to engage television programs, and so their tweets provide insight into societal expectations surrounding evolving gendered parenting norms. Using qualitative content analysis, we analyze viewers’ tweets (N = 834) and explore the ways viewers addressed these characters’ relationships with children, with their fellow single parents, and with romantic partners. Fans celebrated the new millennial approach to fatherhood and challenged the traditional trope of “inept father,” yet hoped the single fathers would re-couple and therefore cease to be single parents. We conclude that Single Parents fans embraced modern, expanding cultural norms for fathers and caregiving while ultimately demonstrating a preference for two-parent households.

Examples of public policies in four domains are presented that are useful in understanding policies around masculinity in Latin America: a) childrearing and childcare; b) the field of men’s health; c) addressing and preventing male violence; and d) sexual diversity. The purpose of this is to illustrate the current state of policies around masculinity in the region. Progress has been made in terms of such policies and programs, although this is still an emerging field with much work remaining toward achieving gender equality.

The literature on men and masculinities has established a clear and complex link between masculinity and violence. I contribute to the study of that link by exploring the relationship that men students from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have had with violence along their life trajectories and in their everyday experience. I discuss this in relation to the notion of the “masculinity mandate” put forth by feminist scholar Rita L. Segato. Through the analysis of 43 in-depth interviews with undergraduate students, I show how these young men have incorporated various forms of violence to their action repertoire to keep their masculine positions and identities stable in different moments in their lives. In many cases, this has also meant these men have had to position themselves vis-à-vis violence walking away from it, manifestly rejecting it, or overtly challenging it. Likewise, students are embarked in a process of negotiation with the different denunciations of masculine violence put forth mostly by mobilized feminist collectives and public discourse within their university context and in the city at large.

This research contrasts the responses of two generations of young Peruvian university students to the demands of women’s movements and TLGBIQ collectives. It concludes that the millennial generation presents changes as well as persistent continuities. Their relationship with feminism is ambivalent; they accept its legitimacy, but feel threatened by the prospect of dismantling certain certainties. In line with changes observed in global youth culture, young millennials are more inclusive and are willing to accept that being masculine does not imply being heterosexual.

This article proposes that masculinity in Colombia can be better understood by examining the extent to which masculine norms, positions, and identities are relative and shaped by the interactions between class, color, race, and region. To do this, I outline theoretical positions that have informed my research on the gender experiences of men in Colombia. Ideas put forward by Black Feminism, and concepts such as Nuestra América (Our America), Amefricanidade, and intersectionality have allowed me to understand the different “colors” of Colombian masculinities, in a context where the overlap of racial ideologies with gender domination plays a central role.

Despite a growing body of research on fathers and fatherhood in South Africa, we know relatively little about un(der)employed Black fathers’ experiences, perspectives, and patterns of involvement in their children’s lives. This article uses Johnson-Hanks’ concept of “vital conjunctures” to examine the divergent ways in which young Black men practice fatherhood under conditions of profound economic uncertainty. Three modes of father-child (dis)connections are presented to show how different patterns of paternal involvement are steered by men’s economic conditions, the complex relational dynamics they occupy, as well as shifting cultural expectations and gender norms. The article shows how the quality of men’s relationships with the mothers of their children plays an important role in differentiating fatherhood practices. Ultimately, this article argues that being a respectable father in conditions of economic uncertainty is a complex and convoluted endeavour involving intense negotiation and improvisation.
