And people wonder why so few women participate in aviation.


The jokes are tasteless and stupid and do reflect a kind of boneheaded
good-ol'-boyism that infects aviation to an excessive degree.

The howls of protest and cries of "politically correct!" that greeted
your post are illustrative.

Hang in there, Pete.


I forget where I heard this, but I'm pretty sure it was a
radio talk show host. He said something along the lines of,

"If I say something that offends you, that's not *my*
problem. It's *yours*. I'm not the one who is offended".
