All-female space mission fixes gender equality

In what experts are calling a “bold step of doing the bare minimum” the six-person, all-female crew on the Blue Origin NS-31 mission have solved centuries of gender inequality.

It wasn’t protests, policy or even pay rises but six women orbiting the Earth’s atmosphere for a few minutes.

Since the NS-31 mission, there have been multiple reports of acts of feminism across the globe. Senior executives have started referring to female colleagues as “capable” instead of “intense”, tech bros have issued public apologies for interrupting women on their podcasts, and one man even loaded a dishwasher without being asked.

“When I unbuckled my seatbelt, I felt centuries of oppression unbuckle with me,” said pop singer Katy Perry who was on the historic flight.

“This wasn’t even our flight, but we’re happy to take credit for the entire cultural shift,” A spokesperson from NASA said.

“Forget the gender pay gap, the #MeToo movement and women’s rights – all we needed was a group selfie from outer space.”  

If the mission continues to make waves, it’s believed society may finally allow women to speak during meetings.

No word yet on whether they’ll be paid the same.
