Forget violent men: Young angry women are the real problem, according to conservatives

A shift is occurring within conservative discourse, moving the focus from "manosphere" or far-right men to young women as the perceived source of political polarization and a "problem." This perspective suggests that women's emotional responses and left-leaning political choices are detrimental to societal stability and rational governance.

It's time to turn our gaze to today's young women and look for the causes of the gender gap there.

Swedish conservative commentators like Susanna Birgersson have argued that young women possess "low stress tolerance" and gravitate towards left-wing parties offering a "nicer world." This framing echoes sentiments expressed by others, such as Isabella Löwengrip, a conservative influencer who suggested women are less capable of rational voting. Carolin Dahlman, another right-wing writer, explicitly stated that Swedish women concerned with climate and social issues "want to destroy the country."

Swedish women who care about climate and social work 'want to destroy the country.'

This viewpoint is not isolated to Sweden; it finds resonance in conservative media across the West. When data showed young British women favoring left-wing politics, climate action, and rejecting right-wing men, conservative outlets like The Telegraph reportedly published numerous articles mocking them. Columnist Rowan Pelling suggested that these "angry young women," rather than men, represent a more worrying trend, even proposing they be isolated with marines to "learn to love men."

It's the angry young women – not the men – who are the worrying development.

The article questions the sincerity of these conservative women, wondering if they are merely seeking applause or genuinely believe conservatism is incompatible with emotional well-being. It highlights a perceived disconnect, where these commentators seem unable to acknowledge the validity of concerns about climate policy or societal issues, instead framing worry as a "disruption." The piece contrasts this with the embrace of figures like Andrew Tate or Charlie Kirk by some men, suggesting a parallel radicalization among young women influenced by figures like Greta Thunberg or AOC.
