Katy Perry going into orbit

I now kiss the ground everytime I put out the recycling and declare how connected I am to the planet.

Sounds a bit like, "I know you are, but what am I?"
😂

You're welcome! We aim to please !

and then there's KP herself "I rode in a dick and I liked it "

Thanks for the Peter, Paul and Mary earworm, which is at least more interesting than the original.

A hen night on a giant penis in the sky. Wouldn't be my thing, but then I'm a bit of a party pooper when it comes to hens. I love weddings, anniversaries, other sorts of parties, but hens leave me cold.

now I've got that Oasis song in my brain, except the lyrics are ".. A champagne penis rocket in the sky..."

Or, John Denver's ( Peter, Paul and Mary if they float your boat more) " She's Leaving On a Penis... "

@BlueEyedBogWitch I love your work.

There’s far too much hope followed by disappointment contained in that thread title tbh.

“When Lauren invited us to her hen
I hoped we’d be off to Ibiza again
Instead we got stuck on a ten minute flight
Without a glass of Prosecco in sight”

”We went up there to show off our true girl power
So we put on our catsuits and Kate waved a flower
She sang us a song while up in the air…
God, who the fuck invited her?”

“The flight was so quick, blink and you’d miss it
Then we got back to earth and decided to kiss it
So did Jeff, it has to be said,
except he kissed it with his big bald head.”

...while KP kisses the 'precious Earth' that they've just inflicted a fuck ton on damage upon.

The penis rocket. The vacuous, girrrlboss drivelly word salad from 'the crew.' What a fucking embarrassment.

Brava!👏

"We went up 4 miles past the Karman line

And that was the extent of our flight"

🎶"We went to space in a penis.
Except we didn't quite..." 🎶

The fact they all have poor Indian women’s hair glued onto their heads and they want to talk about how much of an advancement the “flight” was just disgusts me. Focus on the Earth that you exploit.

@Uricon2 "I'd love to know their opinion of "putting the ass into astronaut" courtesy of Katy Perry and the rest of the infantilising performance this week. "

Well if it's anything less than gushing whooping praise then they'll just be accused of being jealous 🙄.

I agree. Marina Hyde has an excellent column about it in The Guardian. Trying to dress it up as an all female 'crew' going into 'space' was just a publicity stunt. If anything, I see it as destructive to feminism rather than promoting it, seeing as they seemed more concerned about costumes, make-up and hair than about science, humanity or the environment.

@TokyoKyoto spot on.

I still remember a conversation with my eldest DC when they first became aware of celebs with ‘enhanced appearances’. It must have been 2015/6 as we always watch competitive athletics, we talked about Jessica Ennis and how women like her, strong, healthy, naturally talented, disciplined, committed (and seems like a great person) was the sort of role model to aspire to.

@Uricon2 there hasn’t been a single comment from an astronaut has there. I remember Sarah Brightman calling off her trip, I’m sure she signed up for something like 6 months of training but that was actually a trip to the ISS.

Meanwhile we are paying extortionate prices for energy because of whatever zero net goals the UK has, and washing slime and blood of food packaging to recycle, this dystopia is getting boring 🙈

The irony is that the quickest Google will show plenty of women astronauts going back decades, posing proudly in their spacesuits for their official photos, with "done" hair and makeup. Proper astronauts (the ones who actually go into space) with multiple STEM degrees, test pilot experience, etc., who went through gruelling selection to get there at all. Noone has any issue with it.

I'd love to know their opinion of "putting the ass into astronaut" courtesy of Katy Perry and the rest of the infantilising performance this week.

I'm just sick of the sex and the city, ultra glam femme-inists.

Couldn't we have had a few frumps?

I mean as a woman I get more inspired by Tim Peake, a short, wiry ginger nerd with a bad haircut. He's completely normal and look what he has achieved.

I bet he doesn't rake out hundreds a month on blow drys and Botox.

When Katy Perry released Woman's World and everyone attacked the video, I thought, oh that's a shame, 8 or 10 years ago we'd have eaten it up, she's just not judged the moment. But it turns out she really is that person. Crass.

The worrying thing for me is that this is a rewriting of what feminism should be. It's absolutely debasing feminism and turning it into some sort of sexy glam time. Well if you teach young women that's all they need to be feminists - and let's face it it's been like this for years on social media - then they are not equipped to properly deal with patriarchy unless they go out of their way to do so. They'll just say 'I'm a feminist, I can look like this and..." and what? There's nothing more to it for a lot of young women. I think it's insidious and ultimately a move by the billionaire sect to sell a type of womanhood that utterly hobbles women

Look up Kellie gerardi, her whole mission is making girls realize they can have both

I agree. What about the others?
