The Washington Post featured work by researchers suggesting global warming and other environmental problems are the result of “masculinity.”

Men are to be blamed for everything bad.

Yeah, it's par for the course that masculinity is target practice in the media.

Of course it is. The industrial civilisation is a product of manliness.

As a species, we would have much less of an environmental impact if we still numbered in the tens of millions, living as hunter-gatherers and dying at 40.

And we men forcefully ignore the billions of female voices clamoring for a return to this blessed, Neolithic era.

The article also tries to make a few claims, like women being less skeptical of global warming (implied moral high-ground), but not that they do anything about it (doing is so toxically male).

It even claims 'women use less energy as men'. They quote this article.

For a given country, the gender difference is rather small, and mostly due to transport. These authors blame the absence of 'fuel-efficient driving'.

They didn't investigate the average mileage due to commuting and work in general.

Perhaps one reason why men might tend to shy away from environmentalism is that the green lobby is often infested with feminists, such as the England and Wales Green Party, who want to spare women offenders from prison for all but dangerous and violent offenders (CJ381).

From the WP blogger who brought you What happens to boys who kill women in video games, Men can't compromise without women around, and It’s 2016, and women still make less for doing the same work as men.
