Happy Monday, y’all!
Maybe we need to rethink popular use of the term “historic” because every time I see the much-maligned all-women Blue Origin space flight referred to as that, I want to scream.
Shouldn’t a “historic” event mean something to someone other than those who stand to profit from it?
In this episode, I break down the widespread backlash to Katy Perry and friends’ space ride and why it marks a turning point in how we engage with celebrity feminism. The vibe has shifted. And it’s not just fatigue. It’s disillusionment.
I’m very annoyed that I have to say this, but my criticism isn’t about hating rich women or denying anyone pleasure. We should take seriously how flimsy politics have become. Perhaps there was a time for the fluffy stuff, but the time has passed. Listen as I unpack how we got here, why people are mad, and why joy can’t be the only political project.
