Climate Hysteria and “Boy Math”: Masculinity, Tech Fixes, and Gendered Climate Solutions
Season 13
Episode 3
Published 7 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Stop listening to hysterical Swedish teenagers and start listening to reasonable men! Some dudes do have solutions to the climate crisis; they just don’t involve messy interpersonal stuff, changing their lifestyles, or reorganizing the global economy.
Gendered narratives, from doomerism to colonies on Mars, have shaped popular responses to the climate crisis but these "boy math" solutions promise easy fixes without actual change and have led to individualized, “masculine” approaches to solving it.
