Why Young Men Are Turning Right While Women Lean Left

Data from across Europe, the US and beyond show some remarkably consistent trends: young men are embracing the political right, while women lean increasingly progressive. What’s driving the divide? Psychiatrist and author Dr. Melvyn Lurie sees the split as more emotional than political. In his book “The Biology of Politics 2nd edition: So America Won’t Die,” he explains how men’s growing disconnection, insecurity and loss of identity may be pushing them toward more extreme ideologies. Dr. Lurie offers powerful insight into why many young men feel alienated in today’s society, and how unaddressed shame, not ideology, may be the real root of their rage.
