This article is a theoretical study that aims to identify aspects of the sexual division of labor in the incorporation of women into the Brazilian Military Police, linking them to the theoretical field of Work Psychodynamics. To do so, we rely on research on the insertion and daily experiences of women in the Military Police. We understand that the way in which women in the police interpret their work experiences may be shaped by an ideal of exalting virility, as well as other attributes that are socially seen as masculine. This is because Brazilian military institutions, historically, have been associated with values, such as bravery, virility, physical strength, heroism, among others, characteristics that are traditionally associated with masculinity and that continue to influence our social environment. We emphasize that work experiences are closely related to the production of subjectivity, and therefore to the way in which male and female workers recognize themselves as subjects in a particular socio-historical context.
