ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explains that men from the younger generation are likely to shift their visions of ideal masculinity towards a norm of plurality. The Foucaultian approach to power, as formative of the subjects, has been a theoretical help as it offers a perspective on how power is exerted in and creates all social interactions, preventing us from falling into the reification of hegemonic masculinity. The fact is that the ideology of gender equality has not completely undermined gender relations as relations of power, though it has changed the discursive justification for power. In fact, amid all the transformations operating in the hierarchies of gender, male domination remains strong, thereby making the traces of continuity clear. The book discusses that private and public are ideological images that, in truth, are highly interdependent.
