In what experts are calling a “bold step of doing the bare minimum” the six-person, all-female crew on the Blue Origin NS-31 mission have solved centuries of gender inequality.
It wasn’t protests, policy or even pay rises but six women orbiting the Earth’s atmosphere for a few minutes.
Since the NS-31 mission, there have been multiple reports of acts of feminism across the globe. Senior executives have started referring to female colleagues as “capable” instead of “intense”, tech bros have issued public apologies for interrupting women on their podcasts, and one man even loaded a dishwasher without being asked.
“When I unbuckled my seatbelt, I felt centuries of oppression unbuckle with me,” said pop singer Katy Perry who was on the historic flight.
Ugh, Perry can stay up there.
