Women less likely than men to support fracking, due to instinct

So says a woman.

Women are far less likely than men to support fracking because they rely more on feel and gut reaction than facts, according to the woman representing the UK shale gas industry.

Averil Macdonald, who was appointed chair of UK Onshore Oil and Gas this week, said that giving women more information about the controversial practice would not change their minds.

“Women, for whatever reason, have not been persuaded by the facts. More facts are not going to make any difference,” the professor of science engagement at Reading University told the Times. “What we have got to do is understand the gut reaction, the feel. The dialogue is more important than the dissemination of facts.”

Self-hate and pro-corporate indoctrination all in one convenient package. You just don't get more pathetic than that.

Assholery doesn't discriminate with regards to gender.
I came across just as many misogynysts as mean girls.

Yeah but self-hate is a special kind of pathetic. Not that a man should say that shit, either, but think about it, what would you think of a black Confederate camp (man/woman)whore or a Jewish fan of Al Qaeda?

I read about this phenomenon that happens with some members of oppressed minorities :
The self-hate aka internalized oppression.

Re gender issues:
For example. -and I know that I'm making blanket statements here, but it's easier to explain my pov in this way-:
I noticed that women from certain countries or certain social groups are more or less prone to this phenomenon.
I came across fewer misogynysts, mean girls or male-hating feminazis back home. Cause, despite what one reads on the net, most European countries are v. progressive, and you see genders equality at it's best.
Same goes for men.

Re immigrants:
I noticed that about some of my fellow immigrants who faced a loss in social status or blatant xenophobia after they emigrated. They ended up rejecting their compatriots and idealising the natives. Not all of them tho, cause that experience made many of them become a bit more empathic and less bigoted.

Re racial issues
SamuelX (black poster from Canada) posted a really good thread on that, called "Black men who date only white women".

Geeze, I just noticed the funny side of our posts, LJ.
Cause -according to some Litsters- I'm supposed to be the bigoted racist and you're supposed to be the bigoted misogynyst, right?

Yet give me an hour in a Conservative forum and they'll be calling me a feminist... or at least a SJW People like richard_daily and lovecraft68 are just like 4est/AJ or Ishmael, in the opposite way. Go against 4est and suddenly you're a Stalin loving communist. Go against Ishmael about gender and you're a feminist. Go against the other two and you're a misogynist. You've gone at me a few times and I've yet to peg you in any direction. Yet somehow I hate anyone who doesn't bow to my supposed greatness.

SamuelX hit on some really solid stuff with his posts, and I've seen him write about this before. Or maybe you caught some of his old threads. I can understand the animosity born of experiences with thugs and the foolish black women who love them, but it's still pathetic to lump the good black women with the bad actors. Those black men react to "Not all black women" the same way as feminists react to "not all men." Their self awareness is practically non-existent.

The worst ones are the ones who practically come out of the womb hating black women because... well... just because.

Basically it's necessary to focus on black men because far more black men just avoid black women than vice-versa. Hell, in England about half of black men marry interracially. HALF. That's a hell of a lot of smoke - you know there's a fire going under there somewhere. It's not black men who are using skin whitening creams... it's black women.

Yeah I don't speak much about Europe. I know America well, Europe not so much.
