This work aims to understand and discuss how the cisgender man lives his cultural identity in the present time, named as postmodern. To discuss this process, the research used the Brazilian law of installation of baby changing facilities in male bathrooms, as means to analyze the contemporary context of male identity formation and new ways of exercising masculinity, seeking a new horizon of possibilities for this process. Using as a theorical basis for this work, the "liquid society" concept, from "liquidity" concept by Zygmunt Bauman, is used to explain how it influences the construction process of male identity. In order to do this, a literature review was carried out. This indicated that there is an ongoing process of reviewing the concept of masculinity and the baby changing room in the men's bathroom, by breaking with sexist and patriarchal logic, suggests the possibility of a new male ways of living.
