99. So you don't understand all the levels of oppression then.

And your last paragraph more than explains your position.

No matter what you say, your words won't change the fact that I, as a woman, and every woman besides me, has experienced some level of oppression due to discrimination against our gender. To rise above ANY hardship, and especially one so deeply ingrained, and so vehemently defended by those who hold the power, will always be a cause for celebration. And it does make a female astronaut more impressive than a male astronaut. In the same way that Tiger Woods, by nature of his uniqueness in the field at his level, is more interesting than any caucasion golfer.
