So men can’t save the planet and they are not affected by it?

What a piece, so full of bullshit that Brandolini's Law applies (the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it) but I will try to refute parts of it gradually and hopefully, others can complete the rest.

Climate change is gendered

Natural disasters resulting from climate change are on the rise. The number of disasters between 2000 and 2009 had tripled compared to between 1980 and 1989, most of which was due to climate events. Yet most victims of such disasters are invariably women.

On average, natural disasters consistently kill more women than men, in some cases with 90% female fatalities. According to UN figures women face a risk of death from natural disasters that is 14 times higher than for men.

Women also suffer disproportionately more from the aftermath of such disasters, increasing the threat of sexual assault, preventing girls attending school, and so on. There can be many reasons for the greater vulnerability: less economic opportunities, less access to technologies like mobile phones (meaning less likelihood of receiving timely warnings), less freedom of movement due to cultural issues, and so on.

Thus, one of the main reasons that climate change disproportionately affects women is because women are already marginalized. This means that the impacts of climate change in terms of extreme weather, water scarcity, and crop failures, hits women the most.

What lies! Only a feminist can twist black into white.

Natural disasters overwhelmingly kill more men than women. (source: http://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/13821/) (debunked article: https://medium.com/el-saco-del-coco/no-natural-disasters-dont-kill-more-women-than-men-58af7854fed9)

Quote: Data from the World Health organization says that that it’s the other way around: natural disasters kill more men than women.

Turning to gender differences in fatalities from floods and storms for all countries with ≥ 10 deaths over the period 1995 – 2011 as presented in Figure 5, we find that in most countries, the absolute number of deaths is larger for males than for females. Since men generally exhibit more risky behaviors and engage in more dangerous activities than women, this might explain why men are more vulnerable to flood-and storm-related mortality than women.

Note that for most countries, loss of life due to floods and storms do not exceed 200 deaths in the period observed. However, in tropical cyclone-prone areas such as Mexico, Japan, the Philippines and the United States, the number of registered deaths from floods and storms is considerable and male mortality is always greater than that of women (…) in Paraguay, Nicaragua and South Africa, over 70% of flood-and-storm-related fatalities are men.

The sad truth of history is that no female ruler has ever ended war, hunger, or poverty.

Women are not magically better than men. The vagina does not imbue heightened levels of compassion or reason.

Ignorant rags like this serve only to divide people. We must act together to solve the world’s worst issues, or all we will have is another class of people working towards something and an opposing class trying to resist. To be effective, you must get the vast majority on board or your ideas for change will never work.

Supremacists don’t understand this. They seek to divide and conquer. The evidence that feminism is a supremacist movement is obvious.

It’s such a communist fantasy. Everyone imagines they are the dictator ruling things.

If women ran the world, just like the men, the ones that are the most selfish, ruthless, cunning, and innovative will ultimately rise to the top just like now
