Progressives Stand with Bears, Not Men

  • In 2023, a social media phenomenon emerged in which many women expressed a preference for encountering bears rather than men in the wilderness, citing concerns about male unpredictability and potential danger.
  • This trend reflects broader fears of male violence and a shift in the political left’s focus, which many men interpret as dismissing their concerns and humanity.
  • Women often cited statistics about assault and harassment, while discourse increasingly centered on toxic masculinity and antagonistic rhetoric toward men.
  • A 2023 survey by Pew Research Center revealed that just 37% of men younger than 30 consider themselves liberal or tend to support left-leaning views, marking a decline from 44% recorded five years earlier, with many young men increasingly aligning with conservative or populist groups.
  • This trend suggests growing alienation of men from the left, indicating that addressing men's mental health, economic, and cultural issues may be necessary to maintain inclusive political support.
