how do we know there isn't some unlucky, drugged schmuck in that astronaut suit? how do we know SpaceX didn't send a soon-to-be corpse into deep space just to one day say "we sent the first man to mars"

Well at least people are talking about space again I guess

I feel like this is more of a political post than a tech one. Anyway, I'm sure there are tons of girls with neon hair that will stay on earth as we glorious black men colonize Uranus.
Artificial wombs are Sup Forums, right? Maybe the trannies are on to something. An all male society where the odd female is harvested for her eggs and turned into a male might be the path forward.

>Study after study has shown that climate change globally affects women more than men. Isn't the global female population slightly higher than male? So wouldn't that just be stating the obvious?

unlucky? shit man id pay serious amounts of money to be pumped full of acid and launched into space in a way that i could enjoy it for at least a few hours

I really dont get the point of publishing an article like this? Reading the comments, everyone, even feminists, think shes insane. So what is NBCs endgame here? They know the vast majority of normies dont believe in the drivel of a tiny loud group on the internet, so what do they hope to achieve? This is like if Fox were to just start publishing articles on every random extreme thought Sup Forums has.

Colonisation of mars could allow for technologies to develop that can ultimately help earth and reverse or slow climate change, or at least, human survival and adaption to it.
And climate change is a difficult one, since there have been many hot and cold periods on earth in the past, and there is evidence we are exiting a cold period, though human industrialisation has accelerated that process by... estimates range from 0.1% to 1000% so i'm not really sure for certain.
But it's a tough pill to swallow, and unless we really get our act together, a lot of people could die, even in the west.

Go ahead, give a woman all the power she wants. But you better bring in a lot of buckets and mops with you, because you will be cleaning a lot of blood spills. The evil queen stereotype exists for a reason.
Jonathan Parker
Yes, the long term survival of our species is a male responsibility. We sure as fuck can’t count on women to make it a priority.

Oh jesus christ Mars has no sentient life, it's absurd to compare it to all that bad shit that happened on Earth centuries ago. >globally affects women more than men what? how? kek >their planet this is nobody's planet btw

This. Her only concern is self-promotion, she's a nobody trying to latch onto a relevant topic.

And there I was, expecting some half smart analogy, but no, "muh forcey fun times on the planet VAGENE". Pfffffffft.

I believe that grandmothers, mothers, wives, girlfriends, and even sisters in many cases, are all not happy at all about their beloved male family and relations being slandered by some random feminist bitches. Especially since slander against their men implies biological slander against blood family or slander against the choice of wives and girlfriends in their partners, which doesn't sit well in the eyes of the vast majority of women on this planet who have such relations and are protective of their men. A man's privileges project onto his close female relations, even the fallacious so-called "gender pay gaps" ultimately go into the hands of female relations of males, in reality making it a "redistribution pay gap" where money is merely redistributed from irrelevant women like feminists who don't have fair or good feelings about those men into the hands of the women who actually love them and care for them.
I'm starting to see why feminism has been becoming such a failure in the past decade.
