What are you doing here?

I didn't know white men in Spain and France voted for Trump.
I didn't know the north european countries, leaders in green energy, were bereft of white men.
I didn't know a whole fucking group of people in the order of millions were all exactly the same.

Maybe you should step back from the computer and think before writing, realizing your own little bubble is not the whole fucking world.

The concept of masculinity is all sorts of fucked up. Ever since I was young and learning about the differences between "femininity" and "masculinity", I always just thought to myself "oh, so being feminine is just being a decent human being and being masculine is being a shithead".

There are positive examples of masculinity like protecting those weaker than you but there's still a lot of shitty norms.

"Our own research" meaning our own OPINION. Nothing to see here unless you value random opinions. I don't see how articles like this are any different from some random dude on a street corner with a megaphone.

A random dude on a street corner published a paper with the Journal of Consumer Research?

In terms of the environment? Guess you haven't seen the devestation of the rain forest? The pollution in India/China? Has nothing to do with race.

And the most eco-friendly nations are majority white. And that has nothing to do with them being white.

And if you think white people are personally responsible for the damage white people have done you are wrong, just like they aren't responsible for the success of western culture. Any race could swap eachother out and would have done the same. To think otherwise is just flat out wrong and racist.

Maybe I'm a tech guy, but I find few things manlier than well designed, well engineered eco friendly tech. I want to pop a boner at the idea of getting my house powered by solar panels or heated geothermally. Its like im bending nature to my will to benefit me instead of hurt.

PS electric cars have more torque, run quieter, etc. They're just flat out better sans the long trip charging limitation, and thats nearly figured out.

Captain Planet should have worn pants and hit on Gaia and maybe, just maybe, a whole generation of men would have been gung ho for going green.

funny, i can't think of anything more manly, related to "status" and "power" and being green than rolling up in a tesla model s/x especially the more expensive ones.

not that these things are actually important, unfortunately they are to too many.

It's an interesting result that will allow us to market and design green things to appeal to men more. I'm curious about exactly how much "more likely" this is though? Is it barely outside a standard deviation or is it a large result. Also, using products it makes you wonder what the controls were. Did they control for color? Other forms of marketing? Interesting to find out. Doesn't really matter much though.

There is definitely a segment of the population that this applies too but I think it's more generational than anything.

But you cannot use solar panels to extend you penis size. You need loud, oil consuming, black smoke exhaust methods for that. Add in a few gun compartments for maximum extension.

Yes. I've had it in myself and it's horrid.

Figure it out. Untangle it and see the poison for what it is.

Men aren't the problem, but red pillers red pilling are. And those that manipulate others to dance to that tune.

As someone who's heard "If you're eating vegetarian, then I'll just have to eat twice as much meat to compensate!" more time than I wish, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

That's not how research works, do you want to point out what specifically is wrong with the study?

This is referenced by scientific american, one of the most prestigious scientific institutions in the world.. not by some clickbait website; but I bet you know better than those morons

Know this all too well as a vegetarian. It's not manly to not eat meat.

Double whammy here as not eating meat is the #1 thing an individual can do to combat climate change.

I think this might be more of an American (and Chinese I guess) thing, because in Europe there are plenty of pro ecology men around.

I just did. They manipulate participants into giving answers that support whatever agenda they want to push. Shitting on males is getting pretty damn old. Again shitty people do shitty things no matter the gender.

Lol how did they manipulate? Can you stop making stuff up and provide something in objective reality and not feelings?

Again; why are you more credible than Oxford Uni or Scientific American?

Sounds about right. One thing I've come to accept as a male, i was raised to shun away any inherent femininity I had in me, and I'm worse for it.

I can definitely see this. I know plenty of people who base their "manliness" on having bigger, louder stuff.

Well my dad actively disbelieves in climate change, so that's a start.

You seem like you don't know what peer reviewed research is, so I'll drop this.

This is not how research works. This is not how respected journals decide to publish reports.

No one is attacking men.

This information is important to everyone, especially marketers and product developers.

This is true. My ex saw me as less of a man when I decided to buy a Volt instead of a Jag XF. Can't worry about what others think especially when it comes to saving the planet and money.

I'm a straight white male in Oklahoma. When I got my first bank card, I chose the light pink, "girly" design. Had it for years. So many people -- men and women -- acted so stupidly when I used it. Like, it completely threw some people off. A gah dang color. Hilarious and sad.

So you're saying it isn't obvious that there is and has been a CLEAR attack on males and "masculinity" in recent history? And scientific studies mean absolutely nothing these days considered they do nothing but push whatever agenda needs to be pushed. Shouldn't they be helping solve the worlds ills? Cure diseases? Help the hungry? Is how a man throws his trash away really a concern when at the end of the day this "research" won't be used for anything other than the daily dose of "let's shit on the male population"?
