Stanford “Gender Research” Director Declares Space Exploration To Be “Another Example of Male Entitlement”

We previously We discussed recent publications by academics arguing that math is a form of white privilege and male domination.  Now, Marci Bianco, the communications manager of Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research, has found a new manifestation of patriarchy: space exploration.  In the article on NBC.com, Bianco declares that “the patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement.”  The efforts reveals a “Columbusing attitude.” The movie The Martian will now be renamed “The Patriarch.”

Bianco goes after Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson, as domineering, testosterone driven males.  Their effort to explore space is described as “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.”

Bianco apparently relishes the attention derived from her bizarre tirade.
