We analyze ten oral texts and eighteen written texts, aiming to understand how they articulate gender values and ideas, particularly on masculinity, in relation to conjugality, reproduction and fatherhood. We conclude that northern versions of this oral tradition differ from European version, as they center on the kidnapping of the woman (the mother of John the Bear) and not on his adventures, identifying and alerting against a notion of a dangerous and antisocial masculinity, creating a moral message of great relevance to Northern Mexico´s gender culture. Key Words: Folklore, Gender Studies, Masculinity, Conjugality, Northern Mexico Este artículo parte del trabajo de compilación y análisis de los relatos de Juan Oso en el norte de México. Se analizan diez relatos orales y dieciocho relatos escritos, con el fin de entender la manera en que articulan concepciones y valores de género, particularmente de masculinidad, con relación a las formas de construir la conyugalidad, la reproducción y la paternidad. Concluimos que las versiones norteñas de esta tradición oral difieren de las europeas, pues se centran en el rapto de la mujer (la madre de Juan Oso) y no en sus aventuras, y con ello identifican y alertan contra una noción de masculinidad peligrosa y antisocial, construyendo así un mensaje moral de gran relevancia en la cultura de género del norte de México.
