Gender studies have long been a topic of discussion within the social sciences. Masculinity studies, in particular, have been confronted with the fact that there can be no universally agreed-upon definition of masculinity, a concept that emerged from the influence of the feminist movement. The intense questioning of traditional gender roles by feminist movements has led to the assertion that men are in a state of tension in the face of these roles. These transformations in the traditional perception of masculinity have been referred to as a ‘masculinity crisis’. In feminist discussions about the advantages men have over women, it has begun to be suggested that men could be victims of the patriarchal system in this new situation. As a result of industrialisation and modernisation, women entering the workforce has shifted attention towards fathers in matters related to household chores and childcare. The aims of this research is to reveal the impact of these changes on the family. The changes observed in family structure, functions, and individual roles have both been influenced by these developments and have led to their emergence. The research aims to reveal the role of the father within the new family order.The emergence of the new fatherhood model in the 1970s led to an increase in fatherhood studies in the 1980s and 1990s. Significant factors in the conduct of studies on fatherhood and related topics include changes in societal and family perceptions of women and children, an increase in women’s employment, their more active role in social life, changes in their status and roles, and the adoption of the ideal of equal roles. In the new model of fatherhood, men participate in activities such as cooking, caring for children and helping with household chores. The increase in single-parent families resulting from divorces today has necessitated a re-evaluation of fatherhood. The study addressed fatherhood, fatherlessness, the fatherhood crisis, and role differentiation from different perspectives in the context of the crisis of masculinity. Qualitative research method was used in this study. Using a literature review method, we also utilize statistical data from our country and globally. This study examines how masculinity has been forced to change in the face of changing conditions, experiencing some ruptures, and the impact of these changes on family relationships, communication, and violence. It is discussed that masculinity was forced to change in the face of changing conditions, some ruptures were experienced, and how this change changed the perception of masculinity. The effects on family relationships, communication with children, emotional support and violence are also discussed. The effects of women’s achievements in education, economy and law on family members and fatherhood have been revealed.
