The focus on men's roles in Norway's gender equality debate still generates some resistance. Men are commonly perceived as the strong and dominating gender while women tend to be viewed in terms of generations of discrimination and the ensuing need for special measures and positive actions.

Men do not comprise a uniform group, nor is it possible to speak of a single male role. Masculinity is not always equivalent to power.
