Right now we are living in a surreal dystopia stretched between two apparently opposite extremes. On one hand, we are frightened by the possibility that a potentially superintelligent AI might end up annihilating humanity; on the other, we suffer from the human stupidity of a good portion of our political leaders. A paradox between artificial intelligence and natural foolishness that, if it weren't for everything we have at stake, could seem comical to us. Leaders who, all too often, whether out of overconfidence or because they feel in danger, seem to start rambling in their public statements, taking their shortcomings out for a walk. And it is precisely in this context that Donald Trump has decided to imagine a uniform for the Space Force that does not exist... nor does it seem likely to exist.On September 6th, the President of the United States surprised the world with a post on Truth Social. This consisted of the image of a supposed new uniform for the Space Force, the latest branch of the American Armed Forces, created by Trump in 2019, intended to protect and operate the country's military space infrastructure. We are not dealing with astronauts, but with what he has dubbed "guardians": military personnel who, beyond exploration tasks, must dominate, protect, and defend this new military domain. With the Space Force, Trump contributes to transforming the space scenario that, until now, we had associated primarily with science and fiction into a new space for military combat.

It's unusual for boys and girls to be together in class dressed in their Sunday best, but it's not unusual either. Nor is it unusual to find them wearing football shirts, short skirts and tops, flip-flops—when the weather is nice—or tight pants full of dirt. shine-shine. It's possible that before arriving at the school gates in this outfit, there may have been a family discussion about whether some clothes should stay in the closet or not. Whether you just throw in the towel and let the child do what they want or you prioritize their freedom and expression, the fact is that in the classroom, diversity is also reflected in the way they dress.

The word uniform It clearly refers us to the standardization of clothing for a group of people. Generally, those who defend its use argue that it promotes equality among people, in addition to minimizing occupational risks. But the numerous complaints about uniforms speak above all of a sexism that, far from equality, perpetuates the difference between men and women. This has been the case with the female employees of the Palace Hotel in Madrid, who must work in a uniform that sexualizes them, with blouses that reveal their cleavage and skirts with a cut so deep that, when they sit down, their thighs and underwear are exposed. These rigid, tight uniforms hinder physical activity in jobs like hotel chambermaid. It goes without saying that the men's uniforms at the Palace neither sexualize nor hinder movement. Therefore, where is the idea of ​​equality that should be intrinsic to uniform clothing?
