Masculinity is also learned. And everything that is learned can be transformed.
 
 
 
Talking about masculinity still causes discomfort. For some, it seems like a topic of accusation. For others, a field full of certainties and little room for doubt.
 
 
 
This book starts from another place: that of curiosity and responsibility.
 
 
 
The way boys learn to be men is not born ready-made. It is built throughout life, in seemingly simple phrases, in examples observed at home, at school, among friends, on social media, and in the culture that surrounds us.
 
 
 
For a long time, masculinity was associated almost exclusively with strength, control, and emotional silence. This model may seem solid on the outside, but it often exacts a high price on the inside: isolation, difficulty asking for help, and relationships marked by fear or tension. At the same time, recognizing male suffering does not mean justifying violence. It means understanding where the cycles begin and how they can be interrupted. Masculinity in Construction invites the reader to look at this theme as a work in progress. Like any construction, there are structures that need to be reviewed, reinforced, or transformed. When we broaden the way we understand masculinity, we are not taking something away from men. We are opening up more possibilities for existence: more secure bonds, more honest relationships, and lives less guided by the fear of failure. If masculinity is a social construct, it can also be reconstructed. Who is this material for?
