The Blue Origin flight showcased the utter defeat of American feminism | Moira Donegan
The trip leaned on a vision of women’s empowerment that is light on substance and heavy on a childlike, girlish silliness
Honestly, I agree with this despite the fact I would have worded it well...differently.There are some spectacles of US decadence and decline that almost seem too on the nose – the sort of orgies of vulgar provocation or fantastic lack of self-awareness that exceed the limits of parody, so that if they were in a novel, you’d think the writer was laying it on a little thick.
Geez, almost as if it was just a giant publicity stunt & not actually made to honor foids scientific achievement- almost as if it doesn't really exist.Among these is the all-female flight by Blue Origin, the Jeff Bezos-owned rocket tourism company, which on Monday launched a phallically shaped pod full of women – including the pop star Katy Perry and Bezos’s partner, Lauren Sánchez – on a brief trip into space.
Almost as if feminism is counterintuitive to bothThe flight, which was promoted for months in advance, was touted as a triumph of feminism, a win for science and an embrace of the kind of expansive, curious human spirit of striving and possibility that once animated both.
Ah, foid on foid violence will never not be funny to meBut the flight, and its grim promotional cycle, might be most depressing for what it reveals about the utter defeat of American feminism. Sánchez, the organizer of the flight, has touted the all-female crew as a win for women.
And considering how foids want to be seen by society, I'd say this actually lines up as a "win for women" since once again, they are proving to us all they are incompetent(they are ofc), but just want to claim "oppression" in order to be seen as "victims" so they can push for more DEI-tier bullshit
CorrectIt is not misogynist to say that these women do not have their priorities in order.
Rather, it is misogynist of them to so forcefully associate womanhood with cosmetics and looks, rather than with any of the more noble and human aspirations to which space travel might acquaint them – curiosity, inquiry, discovery, exploration, a sense of their own mortality, an apprehension of the divine.
