The patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/pa...ncna849681

Quote:These men, particularly Musk, are not only heavily invested in who can get their rocket into space first, but in colonizing Mars. The desire to colonize — to have unquestioned, unchallenged and automatic access to something, to any type of body, and to use it at will — is a patriarchal one. Indeed, there is no ethical consideration among these billionaires about whether this should be done; rather, the conversation is when it will be done. Because, in the eyes of these intrepid explorers, this is the only way to save humanity.

It is the same instinctual and cultural force that teaches men that everything — and everyone — in their line of vision is theirs for the taking. You know, just like walking up to a woman and grabbing her by the p*ssy.

It’s there, so just grab it because you can.

I dont tweet but if i did my message to the author would probably contain something about a rocket and Uranus. She sorta lobbed it across the plate.

Sophomoric article warrants sophomoric review.

I'm guessing this individual watched the 1980s version of Total Recall where Arnold Swartzenegger encountered a woman with three mammaries.

RE: The patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement
Seinfeld once made a joke that only men would want to not only go to the moon, but bring a car (okay, rover - probably didn't even have cupholders) to drive around on it. LOL never thought about it that way.

Only hesitation I'd have about colonizing Mars is that it would be harder to determine if life started separately on Mars. You can sterilize spacecraft - not so much humans.

....Or, maybe - they want to uncover a lot of hidden knowledge about the origins of mankind and are sick and tired of the elitist liberal snobs misdirecting for the "needs" of so called people who don't contribute anything.

In fact, it's cold as hell.

I can't imagine most liberals would be against colonizing Mars. Anyway, those the slightest bit interested in science wouldn't be against it.

Unless the next generation of aeronautical engineering and physics majors at university minor in women's studies, this is a non-starter. Humanity will eventually colonize and exploit anything it wants in this solar system and it will not feel bad about it.

Musk and company want to know what is up there and to be frankly honest, if I had the option to, I would be willing to leave on a one way trip as long as I had the opportunity to see if the conspriacy theories about Mars are true or not.

Let the women go to Mars, men have done all the heavy lifting with less computing power than a cell phone. Weve left our footprints in space. They need to step up. Maybe they can even get a Corvette. I didnt go to the moon but at least I had a Corvette, maybe they can at least do that.

bwahahahahaha

Mars will be nothing more than a strip mine and gas refinery/storage. Just wait until Man can start pumping Hydrogen from Jupiter or harvesting carbon from Venus. We will turn some of these Moons and Dwarf planets into full fledged planets.

No,

It’s saying men shouldn’t have jumped in rickety boats made of sticks and mud and discovered the very earth and continents we now inhabit.
Cause, you know, brave chicks woulda done it at some point instead. We’d still be stuck in mud huts on the middle European and North African continent with these people.

Regressives are just the worst. I’m embarrassed for them, on occasion...

Amazing.
