The aim of this study is to initiate a discussion that will enable a different interpretation for masculinity analyzes to be carried out within the scope of critical masculinity studies. The concept of “ethics of care” has been chosen for this discussion. The field of reproduction includes domestic labor and labor required for “human production” in general, and for millennia it has been considered an exclusively female field. It is possible to say that the involvement of men in this field, where they also take part with their father identities, has gradually increased due to the changes in gender roles in recent years. The concept of ethics of care, which claims that caregiving provides a relational development of morality, is discussed in this study within the framework of fatherhood, one of the founding identities of masculinity. Possible changes in humans and the effects on the transformation of masculinity, by making care issue a moral education rather than being specific to women, were discussed
