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”, which previously I have never heard of. This specific dating site is promoted as “a platform designed to be less centered on physical appearance”. Thus, if it had no other criteria and I was single, this might well be the dating site for me.
It’s rather peculiar that this site, which I found is 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, by reading 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 disbelief in 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 and carry reusable bags to the grocery store, 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.
I would very much doubt that site users hook up to watch Rambo movies.
