(CAMPUS REFORM) — A feminist professor at Virginia Tech University is warning that fossil fuels are contributing to a warped sense of “masculine identity” and “authoritarianism” among men.

Cara Daggett, who teaches classes on politics and global security at Virginia Tech, penned her criticism of petro-masculinity in an essay “Petro-masculinity: Fossil Fuels and Authoritarian Desire” for the most recent issue of Millennium: Journal of International Studies.

Writing in response to the 2016 election, Daggett coins the term “petro-masculinity” to describe what she sees as a convergence of “climate change, a threatened fossil fuel system, and an increasingly fragile Western hypermasculinity.”

If these people are so brilliant, why can’t they just speak English? Couldn’t she have just said working in the engineering and construction side of the petro-chemical industry makes me feel like The Big Dawg?

I wonder if the professor ever used any petrochemical products such as fertilizer or vinyl bottles or Plastics or gosh... thousands and thousands of items used in everyday life. This one is a nut job.

“Just when you thought “they” couldn't get any nuttier........ Link to full article at Campus Reform to follow.”

Doncha know, we all get erections pumping gas! But your lede is right, each and every day, we sane people are treated to yet another leftist aberration, leaving us saying to ourselves, well that tops the $hit they threw out yesterday. You end up wondering how it's all going to play out? Maybe Schumer believes in the Comet Halebop and will conduct a mass suicide when Kavanaugh is confirmed?

PMS = Petro masculinity syndrome
PMS = Puttin’ up with Mens Sh!+
PMS = Pre-Menstral Stress

I see a connection here...

Western hypermasculinity? I guess she has never met a man from any non-Western culture.

When petrol has become passe and electric vehicles are the norm feminists will then define and oppose electromasculinity. After that I can see further feminist opposition to fusionmasculinity, then perhaps antigravmasculinity ultimately terminating in femininemasculinity.

Can’t wait until they start burning American Graffiti DVD’s, along with Fast and Furious (original and sequels), Gone in 60 Seconds, Bullitt and every other cool Movie with hot Cars.

I’ll assume the Professor would have a fatal heat attack if she saw my Red Dodge Challenger with the TRUMP 45 Vanity Plates. LOL

If one were a beta-cuck, manboob, SJW, soyboy millenial with a numale grimace, you would get a hybrid car or something.

When one does a google search with "beta-cuck," "manboob", "SJW""numale grimace" "hybrid car" you would get this:Dave's Site

Without “petro-masculinity”, feminists like this professor would be slapping her laundry against rocks along side of some nameless riverbank, just like millions of women do in Third World Sh%tholes.

That is the “white female privilege” afforded to her by “petro-masculinity”

She should thank John J Rockefeller, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford but is too blinded by her First World Status.

Nope, no longer.

The absence of steroids has left him without "testicular fortitude"

The remainder of his masculinity is in a lock box with Maria holding the key.
