A Canadian research team reports that men with more masculine facial features tend to be less interested in environmentalism than those who lack such features. Men whose voices are rated as more manly are also less concerned about preserving and protecting the natural world, the team finds.
I guess its just another way to make men feel guilty about being men. The liberal left has been trying to emasculate men for years! Just more of men being the enemy bs!

Yep! If we could just rid the world of that pesky Y chromosome, the world would be an infinitely better place! /sarc off
Who this article really wants to blame is not men with pronounced secondary sex characteristics (bone structure, voice, beard, etc...), who this article really wants to blame is heterosexual men.
The study, in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, featured 162 male Canadian university students. All provided saliva samples so their levels of testosterone and cortisol could be measured. Trained research assistants rated their facial masculinity by measuring the ratio of facial width to height, as well as cheekbone prominence. Other research assistants listened as participants vocalized common vowel sounds, such as "ee" and "ooh," and used pitch along with other variables to rate the subjects' levels of vocal masculinity.
This is how they measure masculinity?
I'm reading thru this, and I haven't read anything like this in awhile.
"More masculine markers were associated with less-favorable environmental attitudes," the researchers report. "Individuals with more masculine faces were more likely to want to use the environment for their own personal gain, and were less likely to want to protect the environment. [Those] with more masculine voices were less likely to want to preserve the environment, but were only marginally likely to want to use the environment for human gain."
Faces and voices determine what a person believes. Someone actually paid for this study.
Closing statement...
The researchers caution that levels of both of those hormones fluctuate significantly from day to day. Masculine facial features, which have been linked to higher levels of testosterone both in the womb and around the time of puberty, may be a better indication of a man's average testosterone level (or his levels when he was forming his worldview), but more research will be necessary to determine that definitively.
1- I wasn't aware that parasites or clumps of cells had facial features and testosterone. Just a side note...
2- The level of one's testosterone at the exact time when a man is forming his worldwide will decide his views on the environment. Just when I thought I had read everything. Hilarious...
These are the scientists we are supposed to believe.
