    are you saying it’s not inspirational for women to have your filthy rich husband pay for your unnecessary trip in a rocket? i would feel so empowered and self-reliant!

      It’s gross enough to have them be completely unqualified and just pay for a joyride in space while marketing it as some feminist achievement. Why add the stuff about husbands paying? I’m sure Katy Perry is rich enough for several trips to space.

      Bashing women by claiming that they’re only worth what their husbands give them is outdated and stinky. We can do better than that… Let’s hate people in new and improved ways!

      Perhaps for the gross things they actually do and say, like choosing to participate in this expensive PR-stunt to cover up the erasure of actual astronauts, regardless of who is paying…?

          I saw “women”, plural.

          Just think it’s unnecessary to drag women for having rich husbands, when there is so much more relevant shit to drag these specific women for.
