The article explores the cultural relation that women have to the construction of masculinities. It is based on ethnographical fieldwork that examined the development and the transformation of masculine identities by both men and women in a "colonia popular" of Mexico City. The distinct conceptual and methodological approaches employed by anthropologists in studying manhood are compared. The concepts of men as engendered and engendering, as integral to understanding the ambiguities of gender differences, are discussed.
