Petro-masculinity is an analytical label to describe a variety of masculinity associated with the petroculture and fossil fuel industry, including both the workers in the industry and promoters of the industry in the large social and civic space. Though petro-masculinities have existed as part of different fossil fuel industries, the analysis of them became important in the late 2010s as the connection of masculinity cultures with climate denial.

If people think there is actually a connection between masculinity culture and climate denial, they are already wrong.
There is no connection, just a correlation. The actually connection is that both are two of the million artificially created fronts of the culture war to divert us.

More labels. What we really need is some class consciousness.
These people are getting played like a fiddle.

It's powerful to have a word for something so familiar, and to realize that it needed a name.
