Study: ‘Toxic masculinity’ leads to climate change
A two-and-a-half year-old study has come back to the fore which argues men’s unwillingness to let go of the traditional view of what’s “masculine” is responsible for eco-unfriendly lifestyles.
The research, published in the Journal of Consumer Research, says “men tend to be more concerned than women with gender-identity maintenance, [and] this green-feminine stereotype may motivate men to avoid green behaviors in order to preserve a macho image.”
Aaron Brough of Utah State University and his fellow researchers refer to this phenomenon as the “Green-Feminine Stereotype.” If this stereotype cannot be altered, “it has the potential to greatly damage our environment permanently.”
Forbes’ Carolyn Milton recently interviewed Brough and points out that in one of the researchers’ experiments, men and women were asked to remember a time “when they did something good or bad for the environment.” Those who remembered a “good” moment rated it as more “feminine” than a “bad” moment.
The researchers note this wasn’t merely because subjects were concerned with how they were perceived by others; subjects’ self-evaluations showed that eco-friendly behaviors were considered “feminine.”
From the story:
Another experiment took the idea further and applied the concept of the “Green-Feminine Stereotype” to product and brand selection. Male participants were exposed to one of two Walmart gift cards—one that used more comically feminine design elements like pink and floral selected to threaten stereotypes or another gift card that was designed to not threaten stereotypes. The men were then asked to make a series of choices between green and non-green products to purchase. Men who were shown the “gender threat” gift card chose more non-green products than men shown the other gift card. That means that when men felt associated with femininity, they asserted their masculinity by making non-sustainable choices. …
[Now] seems like a perfect time to rebrand eco-friendly’s association with femininity as a positive thing. And men’s affiliation with positive environmental steps as a human-affirming truth that shifts us from negative and segregated gender identities into our roles as humans on this planet.
Other research shows men “experience greater psychological damage or face harsher consequences” when they’re viewed as exhibiting “female” attributes. Wall Street and academia are addressing this via discussions and “bias trainings,” but these stereotypes haven’t yet filtered through society at large and are “greatly affecting our shared environment for the worse.”
Says Brough: “We need to overcome our unhealthy judgments […] and live a sustainable lifestyle without caring what other people think.”

Adam Schiff 'not going to stop' Trump-Russia collusion siren
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday he is not going to stop insisting there is evidence of collusion between President Trump and Russia.
"What I have been saying all along is that the evidence that I'm concerned about is in plain sight. And I have used those words probably 100 times," the California Democrat said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"If the fact that the president called on the Russians to hack Hillary [Clinton]'s emails, if the fact that Don [Trump] Jr. said he would love to get the Russians' help – all of this is in plain sight – if the Republicans think that's perfectly fine because it doesn't amount to the crime of conspiracy, then we are going to part company," he added. "And I'm not going to stop making the point that we should hold our president, our campaigns, our elected officials to a higher standard than mere criminality."
Schiff's insistence on there being collusion has become a flash point between Democrats and Republicans, particularly after special counsel Robert Mueller's submitted his final report last month. Mueller did not establish that there was conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, according to a summary from Attorney General William Barr.
In a tremendous move to display their frustration, all of the House Intelligence Committee Republicans called on Schiff to resign as chairman last month because they had "no faith" in his leadership given his repeated assertion there was "more than circumstantial evidence" that Trump colluded with Russia.
Schiff, who has the backing of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., attributed this partisan divide to blind loyalty to Trump.
"Look, I think there is a different standard here between the Republicans and the Democrats," Schiff said. "The Republicans seem to think that, as long as you can't prove it's a crime, then all is fair love and war, that it's all OK, what the Trump administration, the Trump campaign does."
Schiff has called for Mueller's roughly 400-page report to be released to Congress with no redactions.
