In “Petro-masculinity: Fossil Fuels and Authoritarian Desire” (2018), Cara Daggett explains why, with white men, #climate denial and #misogyny so often go together.
She makes a powerful argument that the patriarchal power structures in our society are deeply entwined with our fossil-fuel based economy.

This is a well written and thoughtful article, that touches on a key point that other articles like this miss: It points out that "masculinity" as defined here, means "white masculinity,"
Non-white men are *more* likely to be alarmed about climate change than white women. 🙂🙃
In fact, non-white boomers and silent generation, are more concerned about climate change than white Gen-Z women. 🤦🏿♂️
So the primary driver of this climate denial is unlikely to be masculinity in general.
@mrbula @mekkaokereke @slothrop we’re fatalistic. ‘Everything sucks’ is the overwhelming world view of our cohort.
(I think that is oddly true even though things were never that horrible for us.)
