Perhaps some introspection is required on your part, as to determine how you have become so quickly and ignorantly triggered. "MOM" has nothing to do with her gender, for if you had read the article that you are commenting on, you would have realized that it stands for "Missions Operations Manager".

Hmm, women in the US have such a long way to go before they can apply logic and reasoning to their frequently triggered and incorrect outburst about the non-existent "Patriarchy", and to also recognize that women and men are NOT equal in all things, but bring a unique perspective and wonderful sparks when they work together.

It sounds like an inside joke among equals, not a put-down.

Since it must not have been clear, I was asking whether Alice or Leslie was the "hero of the story" and why.
