Resumen

La actual sociedad neoliberal se cimenta sobre un sistema patriarcal en el que los nuevos modelos de masculinidad tienen complicado abrirse paso. En este artículo, narro mis propias experiencias como padre primerizo y cómo mi modo de ser padre se aleja de los modelos de masculinidad hegemónicos. Así, es la paternidad la que me ayuda a forjar un nuevo modelo de masculinidad que pone en entredicho los discursos neoliberales y cómo esto condiciona mis emociones, sentimientos y mi identidad personal. Metodológicamente, empleo unas lentes críticas y una aproximación autoetnográfica, teniendo en cuenta aspectos personales y sociales. En los resultados, reflexiono sobre un día normal en mi vida como padre, las relaciones que establezco con mi hijo y el modo en que éstas se ven afectadas por la masculinidad hegemónica. El texto es presentado como oportunidad para (re)pensar la importancia del cambio en los prejuicios patriarcales y como modo de profundizar en la manera en que los modelos de masculinidad tradicionales condicionan la paternidad
