My take on the weird (and sexist) media rhetoric around Major Tim Peake’s momentous journey into space, in which I wonder why we have such a problem celebrating the first man to do something amazing, when the first person was a woman. There’s no shame in coming second chaps, or in being the first man in space under the Union colours rather than the first person.
Spoiler alert: does not denigrate his (awesome) achievements.
We’re all proud of Tim Peake – but we shouldn’t have to denigrate a woman’s achievements at the same time – The Independent
