Why is everyone saying "she did not call herself an astronaut" when the meme never states that?

In interviews she was called an astronaut and that is the point this meme is making. One of the other women (Gale something) does call herself an astronaut, so theres that.

This meme is about the out of touch media coverage around the event, not what Katy did not even say.

With that said, I understand the emotional reactions given what is happening in America. Women that worked in NASA are being erased from history at the same time this stunt happens, its infuriating.
