“…The carceral logic of caging animals supports the continued dehumanization of human prisoners through incarceration (Gruen & Marceau, 2022; Morin, 2017). Our disregard for the needs and wants of other species—and our desires for animal products—fuels capitalism's destruction of the planet in an era some refer to as the (m)Anthropocene, with disproportionate benefit to white cisgender northern men and disproportionate harm inflicted on poor people, people of the global majority, and non‐human animals (Di Chiro, 2017; Pulé & Haltman, 2021). We must acknowledge that we won't have a future for humans without greater consideration of animals and the natural world in all areas of scholarship and activism.…”

This paper presents an invitation to feminist and queer sociology to engage more frequently, enthusiastically, and deeply with animals. Feminist and queer sociology that attend to animals and animality stand to develop better knowledge for animals and animal studies and for women, queers, and feminist and queer sociology. Sociologists working from feminist and queer perspectives are also particularly well‐positioned within the discipline of sociology to contribute to and take advantage of the insights of the field of feminist animal studies. After a brief review of what feminist animal studies is, I proceed through three steps to elaborate the imperative for feminist and queer sociology to consider animals. First, I show how feminist animal studies as a theoretical perspective engages with issues that are core to feminist and queer sociology. Second, I center intersectional feminism and lay out how incorporating species can and does enhance our understanding of intersectional processes. Third, I present an ethical call, grounded in the traditions of feminist ethics and ecofeminism, to attend to species in feminist and queer sociology.

“…The link between far‐right nationalism and “industrial breadwinner masculinities” has been under scrutiny in different countries (see Hultman & Pulé, 2018; Pulé & Hultman, 2021). In much empirical work, the focus has been on the production and circulation of digital media or online campaigns.…”

Misogyny, authoritarianism, and climate change

Globally, democratic politics are under attack from Electorally Legitimated Misogynist Authoritarian (ELMA) leaders who successfully use misogyny as a political strategy and present environmental concern in feminine and inferior terms. The ascendancy of such projects raise questions involving socioeconomic structures, political communication, and the psychological underpinnings of people's attitudes. We offer misogyny, conceptualized in a specific way – not simply as hatred or disgust for women, but as a way of accessing a gendered hierarchy whereby that which is labeled “feminine” is perceived as inferior, devalued, and amenable to be attacked – as a relevant transmission mechanism in how ELMAs like Trump may connect with public opinion by systematically investigating the interplay between misogyny, authoritarianism, and climate change in the context of the United States. Using a survey methodology (N = 314) and up‐to‐date questionnaires, we provide a concrete empirical underpinning for recent analytical and theoretical work on the complexity of misogyny. We analyze how misogynist and authoritarian attitudes correlate with climate change, adding to the literature on opposition to climate change policy. An additional exploratory aspect of our study concerning US voter preferences clearly indicates that Trump supporters are more misogynist, more authoritarian, and less concerned with the environment.

“…Over the past decade, critical feminist scholarship has increasingly explored what might be termed “environmental masculinities,” that is ways in which masculine identities are shaped by environmental politics (e.g., Daggett, 2018; In MacGregor & Seymour, 2017; Pulé & Hultman, 2021). Examples include the degree to which climate‐harming practices—such as driving gas‐guzzling SUVs—are considered part of the “performance” of masculinity, or as essential to maintaining the hegemony of white men (e.g., see Willer et al., 2013).…”

A critical feminist system justification analysis of climate obstructionism on the part of conservative white men

In the U.S. and other Western nations, one demographic group is most likely to downplay anthropogenic climate change and its consequences, to embrace the “discourse of delay,” and to resist pro‐environmental policies: conservative white men. In this article, we bring together critical, feminist perspectives on masculinity and environmental dominance and social psychological insights from system justification theory to hypothesize that identity‐protective cognition, material interests, and ideological legitimation processes combine and reinforce one another to motivate obstructionism when it comes to taking climate action. Our hope is that by integrating critical and empirical approaches to social science—and illuminating individual and group psychological factors that are embedded in specific historical and political settings—it will be possible to increase solidarity among environmental scholars and activists and forge a shared vision of climate justice across disciplines.
