Everything That Upset the Internet This Week
What is the web-o-sphere angry about this week? A bagel sliced like a loaf of bread, a B-list celebrity trying to get close toBeyoncé and a space program that doesn’t make suits in female sizes. Here’s everything you need to know:
Bagels are Being Sliced Like Bread
THE STORY: Twitter user Alek Krautmann shared a photo of two boxes of bagels cut in little strips with the text: “Today I introduced my coworkers to the St Louis secret of ordering bagels bread sliced. It was a hit!”
THE REACTION:
This isn’t a hit. This is “Hey let me find the worst and cheapest way to feed 25 people with 12 bagels!”

Appropriate. This poor person has obviously never had a good bagel, otherwise he wouldn’t prioritize the cream cheese so hard.

I work in a bakery that makes bread & bagels every morning…. If someone asked me to "bread slice" bagels I'd refuse service. I have standards and a healthy respect for bagels.

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: How dare this man ruin a perfectly good dozen or so bagels with his “St Louis” witchcraft. I support a baked bagel crisp when it’s sole purpose to be dipped in a hummus-like spread. This, however, is absolute nonsense.
Omari Hardwick Kisses Beyoncé at NAACP Image Awards
THE STORY: Actor Omari Hardwick, who stars in the television series Power, greeted Beyoncé with not one but two kisses — the second being close to the mouth — at the NAACP Image Awards. A video of the uncomfortable interaction has since gone viral.
THE REACTION:
Damn, Beyoncé looked extremely uncomfortable. Omari Hardwick night have just got the new season of power cancelled messing around with the Beyhive. https://t.co/xVhnvCcAxU

I dont presume to know how Beyonce feels but…ughhh that Omari Hardwick shit reminds me of encounters I've had with some men. Then you dont want to say anything because then people will look at you like you're overreacting, so you just suffer being uncomfortable.

@OmariHardwick 2nd kiss was unnecessary & uncomfortable. Don’t do that again?. We women so often get touched, kissed, groped & poked in instances exactly like this (at an event, at work, etc). WE DON’T LIKE IT. It’s time to no longer let these moments of discomfort slide. (1/3) https://t.co/ezFrdhvBsU

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: Twitter user @Jaidus_ pitched in to provide an interesting point of perceptive: “And while this may be seen as a sign of respect in some cultures, it can also be viewed as invasive and offensive by others. I grew up in a Haitian household where I was taught to greet my elders, family members, and church leaders the same way Omari Hardwick greeted Beyoncé.”
The responsibility of men, particularly now, is to determine when their affection passes the point of respect and is no longer appropriate. We can’t know how this interaction affected Beyoncé, but many women watching this clip around the world can relate to the feeling of discomfort she seemingly exhibits. Boundaries exist for a reason.
NASA Spacewalk Goes on With One Female Astronaut
THE STORY: Astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch were scheduled to complete the first all-female spacewalk last Friday. Due to suit availability—only one medium-size suit was in a “readily usable configuration”—a male astronaut, Nick Hague, had to take McClain’s place.
THE REACTION:
Because it’s not enough to discriminate against women everywhere on earth. https://t.co/Hlg7iCnQ3D

Make another suit. https://t.co/mu9w13xsi0

We put a man on the moon but we can’t find a spacesuit that fits a woman by Friday.

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: This is just one of many examples of how infrastructure is set up for men to succeed, and women to fail—especially in professional fields like science. The good news is that McClain will get another chance in April. The bad news: this will not be an all-female spacewalk, either.
In a 2014 profile of astronaut Sally Ride, it was reported that tampon numbers have also been an issue when it comes to women being sent into space. “Tampons were packed with their strings connecting them, like a strip of sausages, so they wouldn’t float away,” Ann Friedman wrote. “Engineers asked Ride, ‘Is 100 the right number?’ She would be in space for a week. ‘That would not be the right number,’ she told them.”
