Detoxifying masculinity is a climate solution. Part of “being a man” is performing gendered consumption patterns, like eating red meat, driving a big truck, rolling coal, etc. And care, for others and the planet, is seen as “womanly”. This culture of harming the environment as an expression of masculinity needs to die.

You're a Bunch of Cowards! - We're all laughing at you.

"[I]f you are looking for negative role models for masculine virtue, there is an easy way to find them. They are employed by #ICE. They are employed by the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity.

A story about how men are useless and don't have worth and aren't worth wanting isn't really going to cut it, not as long as men remain half the human population."
