Sue’s last mission, a piece of history, drew a laugh to her face as she tried to report findings. “Only a man of experience can explain a space walk. You were a chess piece for the government.”

“True”, said a fellow astronaut. There were murmurs brewing from some female participants, and they finally raised their fists to fire back at the males in the room.

“We as women are as capable as any of you, and that thinking we are tokens of the government is rude and uncalled for!”

Sue stood defiant and looked to her superiors for help, even though they also were men.

None came.
