thank you io9 you misogynistic fucktards

Kristin Fisher, daughter of astronauts Anna Fisher and William Fisher, watches her astronaut parents’ 1984 Space Shuttle Discovery flight.

Oh My Fecking God. With one twist of the pen io9 just turned “made it through the physicals made it through the tests made it through the training made it through the obstacle courses made it onto the motherfucking mission control flight deck of the Space Shuttle Discovery motherfucking ASTRONAUT” Anna Fisher into a “mom in space.”

So let me get this straight, you misogynist fucktards.

Were the Apollo 13 astronauts “dads in space”?

How about Buzz Aldrin?

“Dad in space”?

Worse, this is retroactive misogyny. What, you guys can’t just verbally dismiss any professional accomplishment women achieve today?

You have to head back in time to repaint a 1984 astronaut as a womb in space?

It’s a good thing women’s professional achievements are only defined by what we can push out of our vaginas or you guys might look like real asshats here.
