Are you a White man? Do you own a personal vehicle and drive around as you please? Well, you’re a racist, and you’re killing the planet.
For a member of the academic class, there’s a burden to bring something intellectually-worthwhile to the table. When you have nothing to offer (like the vast majority of college professors), you simply invent new scholarly-ish terms.
Instead of “pedophile” or “child predator”, academia offers us the softer “minor-attracted person.”
Instead of “sexual mutilation” or “medical malpractice”, we get “gender-affirming care.”
And now, drum roll please…Cara Daggett, a professor at Virginia Tech and a “climate sociologist” unveils her latest literary horror: “petro-masculinity”.
(Apparently, all it takes to signal academic genius as a leftist is to smash a couple of buzzwords together separated by a hyphen.)
Earlier this week, Canada’s National Observer ran an essay titled “White men are the super spreaders of climate denialism” under the “news” tab…yes, seriously. The author, Marc Fawcett-Atkinson, attempted to unravel the newest offshoot of “toxic” masculinity and writes:
Researchers have found a tight relationship between harmful forms of masculinity, right-wing extremism and the refusal to deal with the climate crisis. Fostered by the fossil fuel industry, this confluence has been dubbed ‘petro-masculinity’ by Cara Daggett, a Virginia Tech professor and climate sociologist, to describe a form of masculinity where using fossil fuels is a way to express an individualistic and patriarchal type of masculinity.
(In an ironic turn of events, “researchers” in this context is also a euphemism for idle, leftist, societal freeloaders.)

Democrat Kiddie Rapers don’t like pickup trucks.
We should not ‘dis’ academia by including any leftist idiots into the set.
Bkmk
White males are despised for everything they have done, and many things they didn’t do. It’s been suggested we shouldn’t be allowed to vote, own property or even exist. Remember what John Galt did with his invention? There’s a lesson there.
All real men love Internal Combustion Engines
Better a petro masculinist than an electro homosexualist.
I’m building a 460 to put in my truck. I guess I’m a terrorist.
I could not care less what a climate socialist thinks.
A “climate sociologist” has a new term of disparagement for people she’s decided she doesn’t like. “Look at me, I invented a new word!”
Maybe worse.
Real men don’t eat quiche! ;-)
There can’t be that many of these woketards.
I really doubt they’d be missed. Just saying.
I don’t Cara Daggett what this bimbo professor thinks.

Sadly though, so called academia at it’s best.
Sounds like she needs this.
A long time ago I had a work truck with a 460. F-250 with a 4.11 rear end, two 18 gallon tanks and an additional 50 gallon tank in the bed. It was a beast. Pulled like a tank.
