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.

'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.'

Haha. Yup. :D

Sexist liberals consider women BETTER than men. Hence it is oppression if they don’t dominate, both in terms of numbers and power.

Who is this loudmouth? Jeez, I’ve been labeled everything by morons. Sorry, show me proof...oh, wait, I have proof that I don’t see any water rising, pictures of beaches from the 60s, 80s and today...

Ms. Atwood is a feminist and that’s an understatement...she is giving climate change a gender....as if global warming/climate change needed another layer of mythology.
