Our proposal is to overcome the limited conception of the masculinity problem. Even when it is true that all women have suffered from the imposition of the patriarchal system, it is not true that all men have always benefited or participated in the power structure that the same offers, and the majority of these people are in reality either submitted or isolated. The present problem for males is not only defined by the conflict proposed by women against males with a patriarchal ideology, but also due to the conflict evidenced by the immense number of males that are discriminated against by their peers who run the system. A true change for them must include a new attitude towards women and a redefinition of the relations established among men.
