Jämställdhet – inte endast en fråga för kvinnor : En undersökning av mäns anledningar, strategier samt handlingsutrymme i förespråkandet av jämställdhet

Men are despite the ongoing progress of gender equality surprisingly absent as actors for gender-equality. Previous research has stated that men, although they support gender equality as a value, promote gender-equality reforms less than their female counterparts. This has led to a theory explaining that men have a gendered leeway, arguing that men have the freedom to support gender equality or not - a freedom women lack. Men are perceived as secondary actors compared to women, actors that lack an interest in gender equality. However, there are men that promote gender equality. Therefore, this paper aims to answer why, how, and what possible obstacles and possibilities men have when promoting gender equality. By interviewing male critical actors, this study answers the questions posed. In short, men promote gender equality when the possibility is available to them. Furthermore, this paper proposes counterarguments against previous research by arguing that men can be critical actors with attached interests.
