   I remember reading someone on here saying women were treated more equally than men in ussr than USA because they had one famous woman astronaut (actually just one woman) in 40 years

     Then I read about it and the only reason they had one woman astronaut is they heard the USA was getting one so they rushed to get one before the USA. Then they didn’t get another one for decades because it was just propaganda. she ended up being a great astronaut though so the only explanation for why they didn’t get more of them is…sexism.

     @sun Akshualli... Tereshkova was a such a disaster that indeed, the positive sexism precluded any more women for a long time. She fucked up all the experimental program by doing whatever she wanted up there[1]. As a result, Savitsakya had to work 10 times harder than necessary just to prove that she had it. In addition, Savitskaya was a daughter of an Air Force general, so she always had a certain cloud of nepotism hanging over her.
     
     [1] The most positive reading was that she had health issues and didn't want to admit to them. As a result, she was unable to unbuckle and reach the experimental materials in racks. However, she also failed attempts to orient the ship manually, and she crowned the debacle by eating food right after landing (provided by local peasants), which screwed up the medical program.
