Men (Also) Cry!: The Construction Of Masculinity And The Cycle Of Violence in The Context Of Gender Roles

This study focuses on how to build masculinity in the context of gender roles and turn into violence. Within this focus, it is aimed to address male violence with the f eminist perspective excluded some shallow and inadequate discussions which are about individual or physiological characteristics. Because the construction of masculinity and male violence are configured, developed and maintained by the patriarchal system as an aim and a product of masculine social structure. Some critical recommendations are presented towards addressing the trouble points in men violence without rationalization and generalized men violence. Considering the milestones in the process of masculinity socialization and presented solutions are aimed to make changes in social structure. The structure is problematic for all aspects and contains some elements which are supporting all forms of violence. Nevertheless, in macro level a multi-dimensional changes must be carried out for especially women and children and other groups that are under pressure in the society (like disabled, elderly, LGBTQL asylum seekers and of course other men who are outside the hegemonic masculinity).
