No better way to shit on women who spent their entire lives getting to space than by calling Katy perry and ‘icon’ for going on a glorified plane ride
…made the trip to the Kármán line – the internationally recognized boundary of space – to float about, weightlessly, in the rocket’s capsule for three minutes
So they literally flew to the very edge of what’s technically space, stayed there three minutes, then left. It’s like a US citizen driving to the border with Canada, stepping over, waiting three minutes, and declaring yourself a worldly traveler. As performative as it gets.
judging women’s rights by the best experience possible and not the average experience
That’s how men are measured, so equality I guess? Seriously though, note how much talk about men as a class is specifically about CEOs, Senators and the like who are far, far away from the average experience.
this is exactly why people don’t fucking get why we need men’s day. It’s november 19th, no one fucking remembers or gives a shit.
It’s november 19th
…which is also World Toilet Day, which typically gets more attention. Note that it was International Men’s Day first, so someone decided they needed a Toilet Day and decided it should be on the same day.
both men and toilets seem to fulfil similar roles in similar ways I guess.
if you think this is an insult to men, go without using a toilet for a few days and see how well your physical well being, stress and home sanity ends up.
I suspect the person choosing for that day wasn’t thinking along those lines though.
agreed, twas a joke
