Sumario:This article reflects on the relationship between young male university students currently living in the city of Córdoba and the feminism of the “Green Wave.” The discussions developed in this paper emerged from an exploratory study conducted by the author within the framework of the Scientific Vocation Incentive Scholarships of the National Interuniversity Council. The study employed a qualitative approach, consisting of eight semi-structured interviews with men aged 18 to 26, all students at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina, in 2024. These interviews explore the impact on men of the challenges posed by feminism regarding the concept of hegemonic masculinity; the role of men in shaping the public demands of feminist movements; the question of what unites men in homosocial spaces, understood as sites where masculinity is constructed; and peer relationships as a means of producing patriarchal masculinity, along with the potential for its transformation. As a result of this research, we present some reflections on the potential of collective male organization from a feminist perspective as a means to construct masculinities that oppose patriarchal norms.
