Hollywood actor Jessica Chastain joined a growing backlash against Katy Perry’s all-female Blue Origin space mission, calling it an "utter defeat of American feminism." Chastain reposted a Guardian opinion piece slamming the flight's branding as superficial and unserious. Perry’s 11-minute journey alongside Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, and Lauren Sanchez has drawn criticism from celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Munn. While Perry described the experience as spiritually uplifting, critics argue it reduced feminism to a flashy PR stunt. The mission has ignited a heated debate about representation, empowerment, and substance in modern feminism. (Hindustan Times)
