| description | The present contribution deals with the meaning of the feminine leadership from a
masculine perspective. By using a qualitative approach, open interviews were developed to
understand the meaning that men assign to the feminine leadership. The speeches were analyzed
on the basis of the Strauss/Corbin-theory (2003). The results show that men agree with the changes
experienced by the gender roles. In a specific way, men agree that women need to have more
societal-economic opportunities, which are necessary for more equitable relationship inside the
family. However, within this positive framework emerging tensions configure a dissatisfaction of
the masculinity that, in turn, impact the intimate sphere questioning the present day inter-gender
relationship. Finally, there is a men’s group with more progressive speeches which venture towards
a positive evaluation of the women’s capacities and their assumed public space-roles. However
this positive evaluation is vigilant, ambivalent, and influenced by a perception of confidence/
uncertainty, efficiency/inefficiency of the effective societal contribution that women are able to
reach. |
