"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.
And she's still doing her best, with the knowledge that she is probably gonna be thrown into jail afterwards. She knows people hate, that she has all the power and that people only take her serious, because of that power. I just think it's tragic, that her actions are also almost expected from her. People expect woman to fix the mess, even with the knowledge, that they only chose her, because they needed a scapegoat
