New Study Shows Straight Men Do Not Recycle in Fear of Being Seen As Gay

It seems that the environment is in danger because society associates genders with environmental friendly behaviors.

A study shows that straight men do not like to be associated with pro-green behaviors in fear of being perceived as gay.

This idea has had a lot of reactions on Twitter with one user tweeting: “Maybe we should just pretend polluting is the gayest thing ever and let their fragile egos do the work for us.”

Penn State recently published research reporting: “If being seen as heterosexual is important to a person, [they] may prioritize gender-conforming over gender non-conforming pro-environmental behaviors in anticipation of how others might see them.”.

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert also addressed this research and called out straight men in his show stating: “This isn’t just toxic masculinity, this is literally toxic. And as a ruggedly heterosexual male, I feel responsibility to convince my fellow hairy-chested man men, that caring for the earth is butch as hell.”
