If you think this is bad, imagine what it portends for women astronauts.

If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sure, but if we HAD to have a gender in charge, I'd prefer women.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn't.

And a break! Patriarchy hurts everyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can have a little patriarchy on the full moon, as a treat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Heck, yeah! I can be the Ceremonial Male at special festivals and then just chill and be normal the rest of the time.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

The problem is too many won't go for it. I recently met a guy who completely voted against his own best interests just because Kamala was born with a vagina instead of a penis. He admitted it freely, so he knowingly voted for the people who want to make people like him slaves again. It's absolutely mind boggling.

Statistically, women leaders start more wars than men, so a matriarchal society signs us up for more war. The group statistically likely to start less wars is former soldiers, probably because they know the horrors.

Maybe leadership is more β€œcontent of character” than a gender issue

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Women being leaders in a patriarchal society will probably behave like leaders in a patriarchal society.

Yes, merit is overrated. We should just get more of Giorgia Meloni, Alice Weidel and Marine Le Pen. Clearly Europe is on the right track...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I'm not against the idea at all, but there are pletny of women in power at the federal level that are absolute dogshit as well.

What's next? Rename the Artemis program because we can't be flying to the moon under some lady name? Probably change it to Ares, god of war and courage. That's a very manly man name, just as the good lords Jesus and Trump intended.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Change it to Donald, god of bone spurs and bigotry.

The moon program in the 1960s was originally called Artemis and got renamed to Apollo for the same reasoning.

So it'll probably get renamed to Apollo 2.

The pettyness of all this shit is what's really shocking...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

I'm not shocked at all. They literally said exactly what they were going to do and now they are doing it.

Learn to expect the most stupid and evil outcome of any situation from now on and preemptively fight to secure what you deem important in whatever way you can.

Where can i read them now? Did anybody downloaded those comics and is willing to share them?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I have both pdf issues in english and spanish and the audiobook that they made for issue 1 and the .apk for the android app (idk how to get ios apps). I don't know what to do with them yet. The website is available on internet archive, you can read both issues on there. For some reason issue 2 eng/sp .pdf were still on the nasa site if you have the direct link.

https://web.archive.org/web/20250301192918/https://www.nasa.gov/calliefirst/

Edit: Uploaded pdf to libgen (usr:genesis pw:upload) idk why it does that, they should get indexed on the other sites eventually.

Keith’s 23 March update: within a few hours after this was posted (over a weekend) A NASA YouTube video and an official NASA photo of two female astronauts were pulled offline. Both things had been online for several years. This is not the first time this has happened. Apparently NASA DEI Sanitation Squad is using my postings to help them delete things. Details below.

So has anybody saved the YouTube video?

All of them. Afraid of giving anyone an equal playing field, straight afraid of women. Hold everyone down, insecure little men.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Soon they will just be pushing women down stairs just for fun. Such MAGAts.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Naw that might cause miscarriages, can’t be having that!

NASA is going down the drain under the new regime. If you're interested in space exploration, shift your gaze over to the ESA or CNSA.

I'm curious: the USA wants to dominate the final frontier, how will they ensure a civilization can thrive without woman in those new settlements?

Anyways, the idea is horrific and stupid, let's hope the US implodes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

The far right morons and the cowards enabling them are fucking things up for its own sake. They're not thinking ahead. They're not actually even thinking, they're just reacting to imaginary shit.

They aren't the USA, they're the parasites the USA is infected with.

With bottling Embryos like in Brave New World probably. That sounds about weird enough for Musk and his fellow band of shitheads

So, I'm curious if they're just bowing to trump in extreme desperation to keep federal funding, otherwise they're out of a job? Or, do they have some maga right wingers in leadership at NASA?

My guess and hope is the former. If true, maybe they have to come off as spineless just to keep being funded. I dunno, just speculating.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

My guess is a bit of both. As a woman who's spent some time working in IT, there are still more than enough men who are pissed at having to include women and would jump at the opportunity to get them out of the door or degrade them as soon as possible. Give them an opportunity like "Oh no, now we have to take those women-related things down. Just in case, gotta keep our funding. Too bad, so sad." and they'll jump on it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

NASA is always, and in the first place a military organisation in service of the US regime.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Don't worry, worry-worts. There is an armada of data hoarders who will bring this all back after the purge. Data doesn't die as long as nerds and geeks like me exist to persist the knowledge we have attained. Be of good cheer - nobody viewed that data before except a select few who cared, it is still there for them just not officially hosted by our broken system...it will be unbroken soon enough.
