The patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement

What does a midlife crisis look like in the 21st century?

Frittering away your life savings on a red sports car is so last century. Instead, today’s man who is grappling with the limitations of his mortality spends $90 million on a rocket to launch a $100,000 electric car, helmed by a robot by the name of “Starman,” into space.

“We want a new space race,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said in a press conference shortly after the launch of his company’s Falcon Heavy rocket — and his Tesla Roadster — into space earlier in February. Like a child, he gleefully continued, “Space races are exciting.”

This is not the Onion. Only an academic, she is at Stanford U, could actually be serious writing this.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[stinkerpot65]

Liberals are worthless scum.

[robroys woman]

This is one entitlement I believe exists and cannot be revoked, any more than female entitlement to bear children can be revoked.

It is a man’s world. It will always be a man’s world. It’s great to be a male and hell to be a feminist - or especially a lesbian - in a man’s world.

[Da Coyote]

Ah, jealousy.
She has much to be jealous of.
Musk and his engineers (and yes, there are females there) are smarter, more accomplished, and just plain superior to this pathetic woman.
Let her stay at Stanford.
“...Institute for Gender Research...”
Pretty much places her in one of only three places her limited IQ allows her to earn a living: Politics, journalism, and university marshmallow departments.

Kinda what I figgered “

[Steely Tom]

How does a frumpish, know-nothing, pseudo-intellectual cat lady get noticed in the 21st Century?

Write a column criticizing her betters as men who are going through a mid-life crisis.

Closer to the truth to say that Marcie Bianco is going through a no-life crisis.

Hahahahahaha...reminds me of some woman on an aviation forum a friend of mine encountered a few years back.

She said air shows were sexist and racist, intended to replicate the Nuremberg Rallies, and that airplanes were misogynist because they resemble penises!

LOL, we still pull that out and read it occasionally! This seems like more of the same...

Male entitlement? The imbecile just needs to get laid.

[rlmorel]

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

By jove, I think she gets it! (I would counsel her, though..."Don't hold your breath waiting for a grabbing, Toots!")

[NorthMountain]

I’ll go out on a limb here, and suggest that algebra is beyond her mental capacity.

[DannyTN]

Yep, we feel entitled to colonize Mars.

Deal with it.

[BipolarBob]

I watched the movie. Matt Damon is the first to colonize mars.

Instead, today’s man who is grappling with the limitations of his mortality spends $90 million on a rocket to launch a $100,000 electric car, helmed by a robot by the name of “Starman,” into space.

I am thinking that car launched into space had no battery, engine, or wiring.

It was a gimmick to get people to watch and to drive up the value of Tesla shares because Musk's dreams of big things might result in a big bottom line.

There's a "scifi" story, from at least the 1950s, made into a radio drama.

It's about sociology prof that, in order to justify his department, demonstrates its usefulness by getting a women's sewing circle in some podunk town to grow by getting new members.

It went out of control, taking over the world, and sending an expedition to Mars to look from new members.

Male entitlement? Hardly.

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

And that, bless your little heart, is why women should be opposed to gun control.

[laplata]

They really are. They are not normal human beings.

Please see my tagline.

“Male entitlement? The imbecile just needs to get laid.”

I’m glad you said it. But it is what most of us are thinking.

[max americana]

leftards are below scum. This has always been a man’s universe bitch. Like what one Freeper posted, she just needs to get laid.

Male entitlement? The imbecile just needs to get laid.

Writing these stupid articles and blathering on about the Patriarchy isn't going to help that cause.
