Too Manly? ‘Green-Feminine Stereotyping’ Contributes to Climate Change
By Matt Philbin | April 5, 2019 6:10 PM EDT

Well, we seem to have hit peak intersectionality, at least it relates to the religion of climate change. (Intersectionality is the modern progressive faith that all the world’s ills can be attributed to the existence of white male genitalia). We all know that global warming, like everything else, will inordinately impact poor minority women. But someone’s figured out how to reverse the flow and blame guys on the front side.

In a Forbes article that on a page called “ForbesWomen,” Carolyn Centeno Milton introduces readers to the “Green-Feminine Stereotype.” Basically, some academics conducted “seven experiments that included over 2,000 participants from the US and China,” some involving grocery bag choices, and learned that people -- men and women -- associate environmentalism with feminine qualities. (The article, as originally posted on Forbes, had a title asking if “toxic masculinity” is contributing to climate change. It’s since been changed to something more innocuous.)
