There are a lot of contemporary, trendy buzzwords being formed in the ‘woke’ society of the progressive left. One such argot is “petro-masculinity” which can be defined as an authoritarian movement by men embracing a ‘toxic’ combination of climate denial, racism, and misogyny.
Progressive women are taking note and rejecting these apparent illiberal chauvinists on the dating site “OkCupid”. This specific dating site is promoted as “a platform designed to be less centered on physical appearance”.
It’s rather peculiar that this site, which I found to be headquartered in New York City, uses the term ‘climate denial’ – no one can possibly have climate denial, a refutation of anthropogenic climate change, yes, but a denial of climate by itself is rather absurd.
It would seem, according to the linked article that denial of human-induced climate change surpasses all other progressive issues in determining whether a ‘match’ has any potential or viability between two people.
While 90% of those surveyed by ‘OkCupid”, claimed refutation of climate change as a dating deal-breaker, reading the article, one will come to understand the ideologies, politics, and ‘wokeness’ of those that use this service and thus, understand why the result is so high.
From this article, I glean that the author conceptualizes that men just ought to be a lot more effeminate, carry reusable cloth bags to the organic grocery store, and, gush out every emotion and feeling with total abandonment, after all, as she claims, “Fossil fuels have long been associated with a certain sort of red-blooded, heteronormative, nationalist masculinity” which must assuredly be the eighth deadly sin.
With this dating site, I very much doubt a first date would include a Clint Eastwood movie unless it was “The Bridges of Madison County.”
