(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.”

Just a full tank of "petro-masculinity" in my old 67 Ford 352 and I'm good for the night(Snicker, snicker)

(Sorry about the double posts, don't know how it happens...)

I did not see any feminists among those brave men who rescued those boys and their coach from that prison in that cave.

If she doesn’t like men, maybe she should go home and eat carpet for a living. Schools should not have mental patients ranting and raving instead of teachers.

She’s probably making good money and getting repeated 15 minutes of fame from publishing her twisted proggie fembot gobbledygook.
