Summary/Abstract: Feminism is a concept that strives for gender equality in political, social, and legal dimensions, and also assumes the formation of partnership relationships in the process of creating a family. The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between men's perceptions of feminism and the partnership relationships they form. The subject of the study is men's partnerships. The main research question is: What are the relationships between men's perceptions of feminism and the quality of the partnerships they form? Based on the main research question, specific problems were formulated: What feminist attitudes characterize men? How does the presence of feminist attitudes towards forming a relationship in men affect the quality of the partner relationships they form? The research was conducted at the turn of 2023 and 2024 among 121 respondents aged 18-65 using a survey method with a proprietary questionnaire developed on the basis of a relationship quality assessment scale. The results indicate a positive correlation between feminist attitudes and the quality of relationships with partners. Men who engage in household duties, support the idea of gender equality, and value communication, respect, and mutual support in a relationship form satisfying and lasting partnerships. Women whose partners display a high level of feminist attitudes rate their relationships as more satisfying.
