Global Warming on Free Republic

Dr. Nafeez Ahmed, who has taught at University of Sussex’s School of Global Studies and and Brunel University, has written an article in which he claims that “global warming,” among other crises, are “gendered,” and men are at fault.
The piece, titled “Patriarchy is killing our planet – women alone can save her,” appeared in “The Ecologist.”
Dr. Ahmed specifically pins the world’s problems specifically on men; not specific men, but men as a whole. The way to solve it is by destroying the patriarchy.
He explains, “The global epidemic of violence against women and their systematic exclusion from the power structures that rule us are integral to man’s violent exploitation of Earth and her resources.”
Detailing the problems that face the earth, Dr. Ahmed writes, “The global crises we face today are legion, but their disparate nature is illusory.” In reality, they all have the same source: men.
Ahmed writes, “In all these cases, we see that our relentless plunder of our own planetary life-support systems, correlates with our unnerving tendency to divide, exclude and ‘Otherize’, often in ways that are so insidious we find it difficult, even painful, to acknowledge these processes.” He concludes, “But to this day, one of the most ever-present yet still unacknowledged processes is patriarchy.”
...To “the patriarchy,” Dr. Ahmed writes, “rape is good for business.” He even blames the rape of women in Middle East countries on “Western” arms dealers and “Western intervention”. In “Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine, to less developed regions like Africa,” the rape of women is, in part, the United States’ fault, he writes.

The prof isn’t even being accurate or honest.
It’s not the “US” that’s responsible for all the bad in the world,
it’s Western Civilization,
and ultimately, Christianity on which WC is based.
Valerie Solanas’ “SCUM Manifesto” again.
What is really scary is that some people in high places actually believe this crap....
Or nailed to a stick.
Next up from Dr. Nafeez Ahmed: “Global Warming and the Suppression of LGBT Rights”, followed by “Global Warming and the Epidemic of Halitosis”.

Global Warming on Free Republic
DANG!
The exceptions can be enlightening; i.e., the Sokol hoax.
And the rapes this same ‘culture’ inflicted on its neighbors etc. hundreds of years before the USA existed were the fault of what “outside influence”?
I remember that one.
All of my professors in my grad program were laughing their butts off.
Me too.
Unfortunately, today those institutions are "institutions of 'higher learning.'"
