Just the other day, my son said, “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
I laughed and said, “Yet, son, that’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard, yet.”
But this article, explaining how feminism is going to save the planet from the weather, put into print by the formerly respectable Scientific American is definitely a contender for the top prize in the 2024 Dumbest Thing in the World annual championships.
The article comes courtesy of three “climate” specialists at the U.N. and one science journalist and has to be just about the most unscientific, anti-woman piece of drivel ever written.
Here are some quotes:
As gender-equality researchers at the U.N., we see growing evidence that women, girls and gender-diverse people are bearing the brunt of climate change. And that raises a question: What if we approached climate from a feminist perspective?
Feminism offers an analysis of how inequalities structure our world and therefore drive the climate crisis, among other global concerns.
Note the big warning sign that we’re jumping off the “scientific” track and straight onto the radical marxist track.
Which would explain how they have such incongruent ideas butted right next to each other, for example:
As water, fuel and nutritious food are harder to come by and the health care needs of family members increase, women and girls have to spend more time on unpaid care work. This reduces the time they have to do paid work, go to school or take care of themselves.
Is followed by,
A feminist climate justice approach elevates their voices and values their contributions to understanding the climate crisis and charting a new way forward. For example, … in Bangladesh, during extreme floods, women relied on traditional rural cooking methods to provide food in remote affected areas.
We need to move away from economies based on extraction and pollution, towards ones that are based on regeneration and care for one another and for the environment.
In other words, when times are hard women need to spend less time in traditional roles like cooking for their families and more time learning traditional cooking techniques to feed their families during hard times.
Once you get past that gobbledygook, you get to the four pillars of how feminists are going to save the world from the climate:
Recognize that women know more than men: “First, we must recognize women’s rights, labor and knowledge. To be effective, climate policymaking needs to take into account the expertise that women, including Indigenous and rural women, bring to bear on issues like preserving ecosystems and environmentally sustainable agriculture.”
Destroy all the men: We must redistribute resources away from male-dominated, environmentally harmful economic activities towards those prioritizing women’s employment, regeneration and care for both people and ecosystems.
Destroy all the white women: We must ensure representation of diverse women’s voices in environmental decision-making, whether in social movements, environmental ministries or COP delegations.
Destroy the West: And we must repair the impacts of environmental degradation — acknowledging that the Global North bears the largest share of responsibility for historical emissions — and guarantee not to repeat those harms.
And just like that, the climate is fixed.
Just for kicks and giggles, let’s meet the ladies who authored this drivel:

You guessed it: a bunch of self-destructive, liberal white women.
