I haven't seen any stats on this, but it seems to me that, just
maybe, there could be a much higher rate of crashes when there
are ladies in the cockpit.

I might as well add my anecdote to this thread. When I retired the
only female aircrew member I ever saw was a KC-135 copilot. She
didn't look like much in her flight suit, but when I saw her in a
bikini on the beach at Guam I perked up. I had a friend who worked as
a simulator instructor after his retirement from the Air Force. He
pulled all kinds of strings to avoid having a female student. He was
a confirmed male chauvinist. Finally he was forced to take a husband
and wife as students, both graduates of the same college. He says
that the wife was the best student he ever had in his several years of
experience. The husband was average.
