It’s Not Easy Being Green, but It’s Easy to Be Annoying
8th October 2013
Well guess what, mom? Turns out new research shows that while most people hold sympathy for environmental causes, it turns out they don’t much like environmentalists. Or feminists. And it may have the effect of reducing people’s efforts (I’ll resists saying compliance or submission—more accurate terms in many ways) with the idealism of the mother-earth-saving mothers. (I mean, if you really want to stare into the abyss, just contemplate environmental feminists.) I know a lot of people who disdain recycling, even when it makes resource and market sense, simply in healthy reaction to the relentless moral hectoring of environmentalists.
