In this minisode, we explore the term "petro-masculinity" and how it helps us understand the deep connection between the fossil fuel economy and white patriarchal rule. We talk about the role of fossil fuels in identity creation, gender as a system, and why confidence is a key factor in determining whether conservative white men will become climate denialists.
