(CAMPUS REFORM) — A feminist professor at Virginia Tech University is warning that fossil fuels are contributing to a warped sense of “masculine identity” and “authoritarianism” among men.

Cara Daggett, who teaches classes on politics and global security at Virginia Tech, penned her criticism of petro-masculinity in an essay “Petro-masculinity: Fossil Fuels and Authoritarian Desire” for the most recent issue of Millennium: Journal of International Studies.

Writing in response to the 2016 election, Daggett coins the term “petro-masculinity” to describe what she sees as a convergence of “climate change, a threatened fossil fuel system, and an increasingly fragile Western hypermasculinity.”

[[warped sense of “masculine identity”]]

Sorry Lady- there is nothing warped about a man’s sense of masculinity- Feminists are the ones with warped senses of what masculinity should be!

Virginia Tech used to be a fine school at one time.

Used to be.

So, she doesn’t use A/C, anything powered by fossil fuel, or any inventions (which would be almost all of them) from those evil white males.

yeah, she’d be too busy trying to find edible weed patches that hadn’t already been picked over ...

“Western hypermasculinity.”

Yep, we Western men are burdened by our hypermasculinity.

I presume she’s referring to the men.

I knew it! 'Petro' is the root word for that popular slang term for Mr. Happy.

So, Cara, would fusion power contribute to masculinity? She should admit it, she just wants to destroy civilization.

If it weren't for men, frankly, women would still be freezing in the dark.
