Katy Perry, along with Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez, is set to embark on a historic all-female space flight with Blue Origin, aiming to inspire women, including her daughter, Daisy. However, the initiative has drawn backlash on social media, as critics argue it's a PR stunt that fails to represent genuine female empowerment. Despite the hopeful messaging, many perceive the celebration as a conflicted message supporting elitism and question the authenticity of the empowerment narrative presented by Perry and her co-stars.
You cannot rebrand oligarchy as feminism, especially when the information is in our face every day," said Internet personality and entrepreneur Blakely Neiman Thornton, criticizing the Elle cover.
The women are all dressed in black, as if to appear serious about their debatable message about female empowerment. But the women also talk about the 11-minute flight like it's a fun girls' night out.
Katy Perry stated she's participating in the space flight to inspire the next generation of women to never have limits on their dreams, including her daughter, Daisy.
Critics on social media slammed the celebration of an all-female space flight as a mere PR stunt, questioning the authenticity of the female empowerment message.
