ENA deep socio-historical rooted masculinity goes through substantial changes. Today the guidelines of traditional masculinity have disappeared and man at the end of the twentieth century no longer knows how to define himself. The man sees his masculinity being attacked. Traditional model of masculinity makes men understand that the ideal of virility comes at high price. Searching for male's protection from feministic attacks masculinism proposed a new vision on men's being and the discussions on modern men began. Contemporary masculinism as the reaction to feminism appeared in 1970s in the USA. Its discourse during the past three decades has changed from men's liberation to men's rights and radical profeminist movements. It sheds light on the limits, dangers and possibilities of politics of masculinities.
