Author Margaret Atwood has claimed that women's rights and the climate crisis are 'very connected'.

The Handmaid's Tale writer, 80, from Ottawa, Canada, insisted that action around climate change is 'very important' and credited Greta Thunberg with leading momentum around this subject.

[snip]

'That and the rights of women are very connected. So the people who want to suppress women, also want to pretend there is no climate crisis.

'So if you suppress women, you suppress also some very strong voices about the climate crisis.'

So it's okay to deny climate change if a man is speaking about it? Gotcha. :D

Earth burns to a crisp; women, minorities most affected.

From a fellow Canuck — Maggie, just get over yourself. Take some of your book royalties, and what you’re getting from that HBO series and hie off to some resort somewhere and drink some mai-tais and leave the rest of us out of it!

“Author Margaret Atwood brands people who ignore the climate crisis ‘sexist’ – and claims women’s rights and environmental issues are ‘very connected’”

what? If women had more rights they’d quit screwing up the environment so badly? Personally, i find that hard to believe ...

Yawn — any who does not agree with (my race, sex, etc.) is a xxxxist.

That useless penny was spent during the obozo administration.

She never made so much money until recently.

Well, to the liberals, something such as Trump and Stormy Daniels is an oppression of all.women, not just reflective of bad decisions by one woman, who did something as a consenting adult she wishes she had not done.

“Author Margaret Atwood brands people who ignore the climate crisis ‘sexist’ “

Really? It’s pretty obvious that people like her who claim there is a climate crisis hate people of color and want all of their children dead. And they’re Nazis, too, and want to deprive the world of chocolate. Just like her, I assert it, so it must be so.

Think of all the resources that went into printing her book.

Think of all the resources that went into making the movie.

Unless she's willing to give all that up she can just sit down.

"...claims women's rights and environmental issues are 'very connected'"

Yes! They are... They are both important ideological elements of marxism (sometimes as communists, democrats, socialists, nazis, fabians, progressives, etc..)

Remember, if walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it's a duck...
