MEANINGS ABOUT WOMEN AND GENDER RELATIONSHIPS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The article draws on doctoral research completed in 2022. The objective is to understand the experience of masculinities among male university students. The method used is hermeneutics. Theoretically, it draws on perspectives from the humanities and social sciences on masculinities, gender, performativity, and power relations between sexes. The information was collected from 21 young people between the ages of 18 and 28. The findings show low impact of the inclusive education policy with a gender perspective, standardized for Colombian universities in 2018, on masculinities experienced in the university environment. Students have a contradictory set of meanings about women and suffer from the precariousness of intragender relationships.
