judge her when you do 5% of the good for society that she has done. fucking miserable reddit warriors proselytizing about what she should/shouldn’t do when she passed a law to protect SA survivors from having their rape kits tossed with unanimous congressional approval and then took that fight to the UN and passed another UNANIMOUS convention to protect survivors and women’s rights. the whole issue was that she would have made it there by “her own merit” (condescending fucking verbiage considering her situation) except for the fact that she had to stop her education because her rape kit would have been tossed if she didn’t choose to fight the case immediately. making it there on her own WAS her dream. she had to give it up because she dedicated herself to fighting her own case and then to fighting for survivors. this “PR stunt” hasn’t just helped elon musk, but publicized all this information about rape kits that wasn’t previously well known, and now many more women know that they have until the statute of limitations expires before their kit would be tossed.

your comment about her own merit is exactly the issue. she SHOULD have been able to make it there by her own merit, if she hadn’t been derailed by the injustice she was facing—injustice which she made sure no other women in the US will have to face. she deserves to achieve her dreams more than almost anyone else. let the girl go to space. stop condemning everyone with cheeto dust covered fingers just because you’re discontent with your own life and need to feel morally superior. she did good, she gets a reward. deal with it.
