Sumario:This article aims to provide an overview of the historical process of constructing Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) in Argentina and the need to incorporate a masculinities perspective. This approach aims to problematize the hegemonic model of masculinity that reaffirms male domination, as promoted by neoconservative sectors. In other words, it enables the possibility of conceptualizing and embodying masculinities in alternative ways. The analysis is situated within the national context of antifeminist backlash and the reaffirmation of neoconservative discourses and practices by various right-wing actors, which reinforce the perceived need to restore a masculinity eroded by the advancement of feminist policies. The article is structured as follows: first, it presents a brief historical overview and assessment of the transformations in the legal framework, educational proposals, pedagogical perspectives, and implementation strategies of this right during the early years of CSE, marked by disputes with neoconservative sectors. Second, it characterizes the dissemination and reach of neoconservative discourses and the antifeminist backlash up to the present. Finally, it examines the field of masculinity studies and highlights their contributions, which can serve to enrich the pedagogical perspective of CSE.
