Resumen
PEREZ-RIVERA, Norman Hernando; GIRALDO-OSORIO, Mónica Yazmín y MUNOZ-ECHEVERRI, Iván Felipe. Masculinity and paternity in parenting processes in Medellín, Colombia, 2018. Rev. Fac. Nac. Salud Pública [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.1, e10. Epub 09-Jun-2022. ISSN 0120-386X. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rfnsp.e344529.
Objective:
To present and to discuss denotations and practices about parenthood and masculinity that occur in parenting, and that lead to the social reproduction of patriarchal hegemonic patterns or the emergence of alternative ways of being a man in today's society.
Methodology:
A qualitative study theoretically based on symbolic interactionism; information processing and analysis were carried out with a grounded theory approach. Parents from a public school in Medellín were engaged in the study; 6 interviews and a discussion group were conducted.
Results:
Denotations and practices about masculinities and parenting that reproduce patriarchy were described, and others that tend toward alternative or collaborative forms of parenting were described as well. Likewise, promoters of the transition to masculinities and collaborative parenting are described.
Conclusion:
Parenting has a decisive role in perpetuating patriarchy, but at the same time, it has the potential to promote necessary transformations in favor of masculinities and parentings committed to gender equality.
