%X the present contribution deals with the meaning of the feminine leadership from a masculine perspective. by using a qualitative approach, opened interviews were developed to understand the meaning that men assign to the feminine leadership. the speeches were analyzed on the basis of the strauss/corbin-theory (2003). the results show that men agree with the changes experienced by the gender rolls. in a specific way men agree that women need to have more societal-economic opportunities, that it is necessary to have more equitable relationship inside the family. however within this positive framework, emerging tensions configure a dissatisfaction of the masculinity that in turn impact the intimate sphere questioning the present day inter-gender relationship. finally, there is a men group with more progressive speeches which venture towards a positive evaluation of the women capacities and their assumed public space-rolls. however this positive evaluation is vigilant, ambivalent, and influenced by a perception of confidence/uncertainty, efficiency/inefficiency of the effective societal contribution that women are able to reach.
