Abstract

Starting in the 1970´s and following the footprint left by women´s rights movements, men started questioning themselves and reflected upon their sexed experience, and the meaning of being masculine, this way deconstructing many of the dominant models of virility, and building in its place a demand for freedom and a symbolic redefinition of masculinity in this symbolic redefinition we find the role of a caring man, opposed to the predominant stereotype that limits him to society´s exclusive breadwinner in this paper we analyze, in several interpretation levels, the real situation of the practice of caring, especially what Italian and Spanish societies understand it to be, with the help of two practical case studies. Our proposal is based on the wish to verify on the field, the extent to which the societies studied (that could be completely representative of Mediterranean societies in general) assume feminist approaches or not, in order to offer innovative proposal based on empirical and theoretical evidences
