A significant point raised concerns the influence of crime shows like Law & Order, Dateline, and 48 Hours, which predominantly portray men as villains or threats. This relentless depiction fosters an environment where women are conditioned to see men as predators, ultimately shaping their subconscious fears and biases.

The proliferation of true crime content that emphasizes male criminality contributes to a skewed perception, overshadowing the countless heroic men—firefighters, police officers, military personnel—who risk their lives daily for collective safety.
