This is a rich people's vanity project. Spinning it as some kind of victory for womens' empowerment is complete bullshit.

Especially when you're removing the names of women who actually achieved something.

It's just Jeff who wanted a bunch of famous women to have a ride on his giant dick shaped rocket.

Who is spinning it that way? I'm really asking. I keep seeing this story in memes but I'm out of the loop

From what I've seen, that's the spin coming from the participants themselves.

just like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris running for president….
i very much want a woman president, but not just any woman and voting for them solely because they’re women with virtually no other accomplishments (i did vote for both of them, but just because trump is cheeto hitler)
