Lol, they take a stupid position, and then find the "evidence" to support their claims.89% of Fortune 500 company CEO's are men. Am guessing that a lot of those men are in control of policies that might contribute to climate change. Pointing this out doesn't sound like misandry to me.
For those wanting to actually read the paper before taking offence.

The paper argues that masculinity is deeply connected to environmental destruction, climate change, and unsustainable economic systems. It is an editorial introduction to a special issue in the journal NORMA: The International Journal for Masculinity Studies focused on men, masculinity, and the Anthropocene (“the age of human impact on Earth”).
Key points:
- Men, on average, consume more carbon-intensive goods and engage more in environmentally damaging behaviors than women.
- Traditional masculine norms — dominance, competition, control over nature, heavy consumption, aggression, fossil-fuel culture, meat consumption, large vehicles, etc. — are framed as contributing factors to ecological crises.
- The authors argue environmental destruction is not just a technological or economic problem, but also a social and cultural one tied to gender systems and power structures.
- They use the term “(M)Anthropocene” to emphasize that ecological damage has disproportionately been driven by male-dominated political, industrial, and economic systems.
- The paper links patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, militarism, and extractive industries as interconnected systems.
- It also discusses how climate denial and resistance to environmental policies are sometimes associated with certain masculine identities and political movements.
- The issue explores alternatives, including “eco-masculinities” — forms of masculinity centered around care, sustainability, cooperation, and environmental responsibility.
The article itself is mainly a conceptual/editorial overview rather than a hard-science experimental paper with original lab data. It summarizes themes and directions for the broader special issue.
But you forget that the only reason men don't just sit under a tree drinking beer is because they want to impress women. That's were ALL the problems start.89% of Fortune 500 company CEO's are men. Am guessing that a lot of those men are in control of policies that might contribute to climate change. Pointing this out doesn't sound like misandry to me.

Then when you actually take a look at who the big polluters are China makes the rest of the planet look like amateurs...The prefix ‘m’ highlights that the destructive ecological and social processes are associated with and largely driven by the activities of privileged eurowestern countries, particularly elite white men
She assures me she is not one of those girls and never farts.Your goose likely pretends she needs to leave the room before she vents. You check out tik tok on farts - and sharting![]()
Yeah this is just anti male slop. Give us some real science.My favourite part of the study is this sentence:
