The climate movement has a man-hating problem

<p>I was at the watch party for the launch of the&nbsp;<a href="https://action.sunrisemovement.org/a/biden-declare-climate-emergency" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Sunrise Movement&rsquo;s national campaign to get Biden to declare a climate emergency</a>, when out of the blue I heard one of the young women there say jokingly, &ldquo;Sorry to the men here, but I hate men!&rdquo;</p> <p>Even though I didn&rsquo;t hear the context of her facetious comment, it was a bit of a punch in the gut to someone who now identifies as transmasculine. (Although some people who claim that &ldquo;all men are bad&rdquo; exclude trans men and transmasculine people from this judgment, but that is a different discussion.) The majority of the people at the watch party were women; there were only a couple guys. No one reacted strongly to her comment. I couldn&rsquo;t help thinking about what would&rsquo;ve happened if the genders had been switched: what if a man/transmasculine individual said they hated women? There&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>no way&nbsp;</em>that wouldn&rsquo;t have had a strong reaction!</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@loranvandenbosch/the-climate-movement-has-a-man-hating-problem-fccf215ffe52"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
