The patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement
The presumed right to use and abuse something and then walk away to conquer something new is a hallmark of colonialism.
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/op…
"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."

- What's next on the Idiot Carnival showlist? Sports that use balls? Because men have balls, right? Sex balls caused the Roman Empire and Cornflakes.face_melter
- But wait! Balls also made the keyboard she wrote that article with and balls tamed the electricity used to power the keyboard. Sex balls! Sex Balls! Sex balls!face_melter
- Oh FFS here we go again, even space exploration is sexist now.M01XXX
- Musk gets an erection when he launches rockets.Beeswax
- And his name is Musk ffs, can't be more patriarchal. He'll never win unless he gets a sex change.Beeswax
- Maybe men just want to get even further away from women because they write ridiculous articles like this. Suppose I should go read it now!Ianbolton
- "Rather, the impulse to colonize — to colonize lands, to colonize peoples, and, now that we may soon be technologically capable of doing so, colonizing space —yuekit
- has its origins in gendered power structures." This is where she needed maybe a citation or something for such a sweeping claim.yuekit
- It's amazing how you can simply claim things in certain fields of academia, and people will say that you "proved" or "demonstrated" that they are true.yuekit
- ^ the power lies in the fallout from challenging those ideas. being branded a racist or misogynist is those circles is the nuke option for a future careerGnash
- It's on average -55c on Mars. Plus super high UV etc. It's never going to be a natural habitat for humans. You can't do anything but stay inside! boring....shapesalad
- Musk etc, are going to spend so much time and money getting to Mars - with high UV and -55c temp. Why not use the time and cash to improve things here on Earth?shapesalad
- ^ Because we're men and we can do what the fuck we want!Ianbolton
- So Mars is really going to be for men. I'll stay here on earth with all the venues.shapesalad
- Has she got a decent rack? Boobs of the day, perhaps?PeterPancake
- I would go to Mars toot-sweet just to escape this barrage of sub Medium-quality rancid brain gas masquerading as critical writing.face_melter
- she says it like it's a bad thing. fuck yeah i wanna knock up marsscarabin
- Why don't women colonise Venus? Then we can finally have some peace. It would be great if Mars had become men's weekend destination.Beeswax
- ^ is that like a 'go back to where you came from' joke. Men are Mars women are from Venus!Ianbolton

Deputies began investigating the incident when half of a mobile home was found abandoned in the parking lot of an Elementary School Saturday.
they received dozens of tips from the public about a Craigslist advertisement from a seller in Yamhill. The owner was offering to pay $1,000 to have a mobile home hauled away from his property.
When deputies contacted the seller, the seller said a man responded to the ad and hauled away half the mobile home. Deputies confirmed this was the half that was found dumped at the school.
The man told the seller he would return for the second half.
Monday night, the seller called deputies and said the man was returning to haul away the second half of the mobile home.
Deputies met the man on his property and arrested the suspect, 35-year-old Derek Conley, of Portland.

- Well... how about those Koreans and their Siemens don't then know what that sounds like in English! They need some anti-bias training.shapesalad
- "too beaucoup" is not a slur, it roughly translates into "too many much". The expression in itself is funny because of the adverb/adjective repetition.soundofreason
- Because of this, it can be applied to many situations.
Furthermore, having a large penis is considered a compliment in all societies (that I am aware of).soundofreason - Bennn took the day off.

A woman has gone viral online for allegedly canceling her baby shower because her family and friends were unsupportive of her choice of baby name: Squire Sebastian Senator.
...
The mother shares that she was not “crazy,” or “mentally unstable” or “drunk” when she chose the unique three name moniker, which she emphatically points out “is only his first name.”
