Petromasculinity defined as 'the climate denial, authoritarian politics, and sexism that are too often inextricably linked.'

Liberal magazine The New Republic (TNR) garnered the scorn of critics after publishing an article Friday celebrating "petromasculinity" being rejected by younger generations, specifically those using online dating apps.
In the piece, headlined "'Petromasculinity' Is Becoming Toxic, Too—at Least to Online Daters," TNR praised what appeared to be a shift in online daters preferring a potential partner who cares about climate change and "rejecting petromasculinity: the climate denial, authoritarian politics, and sexism that are too often inextricably linked."
"Climate denial is not hot," author Liza Featherstone wrote, while citing a report from The Hill that "climate denial" was the biggest dealbreaker for users of the dating app OkCupid.
