'equality in space tourism' is not something one can write with a straight face

A crew of six women, including pop star Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos's fiancé Lauren Sanchez, is set to blast off today on an 11-minute Blue Origin flight.

It marks the first all-female space mission in 60 years — hailed as a breakthrough for gender equality in space tourism.

Here we see the polar opposite of intersectional feminism.

Years ago, my partner was being bullied by her male supervisor - usual bullshit like "too aggressive, nobody likes you" because she had opinions. Then when she called him out on it, his defence was, "nobody has done more for women at (well known tech company) than me!" This gives the same energy.

Imagine just saying no and using the money for something useful or good. These six women couldn't do it.

Women can be rich assholes too. Gender equality is truly here. 🥹🇺🇲
