Experts Concerned We’ve Sent Sexist Messages to Space

We’re not doing enough to promote diversity to aliens. During the British Science Festival, a group of experts pondered whether or not some of the images we have sent into space might be too sexist and too white — which would clearly be sending the wrong message to any aliens out there. Yes, seriously. Dr. Jill Stuart, considered an expert on the “politics” of space, expressed particular concern about a plaque on the 1972 Pioneer 10 spacecraft that featured a naked man and woman. “The plaque shows a man raising his hand in a very manly fashion while a woman stands behind him, appearing all meek and submissive,” Stuart said, according to an article in the Guardian.

Brain damaged more likely. We know what being committed to liberalism does to people’s minds.

Perhaps they should update the graphic with a photo Bruce Jenner in a swimsuit.

Caitlyn Jenner Conquers Her Fear of Swimsuits: See Her White-Hot Style
UsWeekly ^ | August 10, 2015 | Rachel Torgerson - Celebrity Style

White-hot! After admitting her insecurities about wearing a bathing suit, Caitlyn Jenner conquered her fear and rocked a sexy one-piece on the Aug. 9 episode of her E! reality series, I Am Cait.

For her swimsuit debut, Jenner opted for a white, one-shouldered monokini with intricate ties at the back. The former Olympian, 65, kept her hair in her blown-out, straight style and topped off the entire beachy look with a lace sarong and golden hoop earrings.

Rocking a swimsuit was a tall order for Jenner, who had only recently explained that swimwear makes her feel too "exposed." "Putting on a bathing suit represents a lot to me," she said in the most recent episode. "I'm about as nervous as can possibly be right now."

I think it’s going to be more like: “Humans, They all look the same”.

And what happens if the Aliens are Jewish?
