These wild and crazy liberals who embrace "Science"
University Lecture Fracking Is a Feminist Issue National Review Online
What does āfeministā even mean at this point? Not only is fracking destroying the environment ā itās sexist, too. At least thatās the idea that ecologist/social-justice hero Sandra Steingraber presented to more than 100 students at the University of Pittsburgh on Monday during a lecture titled āFracking Is a Feminist Issue: Women Confronting Fossil Fuels and Petrochemicals in an Age of Climate Uncertainty.ā āThis is a feminist issue because [the chemicals used and released in the fracking process] are largely reproductive toxins,ā Steingraber said, according to an article in the Pitt News, the schoolās official student newspaper.

But hereās the thing: Regardless of what the actual impacts of fracking may be, designating it as a āfeminist issueā makes zero sense ā and thatās especially true according to Steingraberās own beliefs. After all, not only has she claimed that fracking is linked to several gender-neutral problems (such as asthma and drunk driving), but sheās also claimed it can cause reproductive damage in males, too, such as testicular cancer
