Abstract

Gender roles include standards, expectations and norms which one should fulfill. But, there are very few individuals who can achieve what society expects when it comes to norms considering gender rols. On the other hand, literature about traditional Montenegro society considers gender roles in general, and not individuals - the ones who are succesful or unsuccesful in fulfiling these prescribed gender roles.

If we base our research of traditional masculinity in Montenegro on the narratives about the past, as a result we will have a model which will contain many imputations and interpretations that will not coincide with the reality of life in the past. This implies that it is impossible to position Montenegro masculinity on the traditional/modern axis. Nevertheless, it does not diminish the functional potential of the model in determining contemporary social relations.
