My love of “green living” stems from a love of nature. I’ve always loved going on walks in the “non developed” places. For one, the air is always fresher. For two, the plants and wildlife are often beautiful. I don’t see how being able to appreciate what “is” should make someone less masculine. It’s like these people have never met a mountaineer capable of living off the land and his own two hands. Not much could be manlier. (It’s also faminine, too, according to the article.) What an utterly silly concept.
Last I knew, survival training was standard in the training of the armed forces across all countries. You’re welcome to call the Navy Seals feminine, but I wouldn’t.
