Abstract:
This article systematizes some emerging considerations based on two juxtaposed activist itineraries by the author: his participation in anti-patriarchy men's groups (2009/2014) and feminist activism within popular left organizations in Argentina. It draws from both experiences to question the links between groups of men - and anti-patriarchal / male feminist activism beyond this specific groups - and feminisms, addressing this complex relationship in terms of contributions, tensions and challenges. A dialectical methodological approach is used, which can be summed up by the practice-theory-practice triad. Thus, the links established between groups of men and feminisms emerge from praxis, in order to be problematized, theorized and conceptualized with the aim of transforming practice itself.
