what is it about women?

It's a serious question and your suggestion in point 4. is close to the
truth. I don't want to offend any women by making any generalisations about
their characteristics, strengths or weaknesses in case I get lambasted for
being a sexist or for stereotyping or any other such act of political
incorrectness and so this issue will fail to get any proper consideration
from me or many others here just as it is with so many issues in modern
life.

No! stuff that.

They just hate it. How many women compared to men will go for a day at the
club with you? The few that do come with me always regret it and so I just
don't ask them along anymore. The percentage who like it mirrors the number
of women who are members of clubs - 3% or so. Women don't thrill seek, they
are timid and cautious or less reckless (Oh.... look at me pandering to
sensitivities again). Basically women come from Mars and there are no
gliders on Mars. That's how it is and you can try to force change with
positive discrimination and schemes and systems but what for; to turn women
into men? It is not like the education issue in the 60's. There is no
prejudice, and there are no substantial barriers to women who want to go
gliding. They can do it if they want, its just they don't want to and they
never will.

Questions regarding females and gliding:

Please find below,
several questions considering constitution, psychology,
and motivations of women,
for your sincere proffers and posits
hereunto:

1. Why do more females not fly gliders?
(Therein may be answer to why are there so few women
glider pilots.)
a) are they afraid?

b) do they feel no sense of gain by accomplishing
flight?

c) is their (female) fear mechanism and psychology
different from that of males? how?

d) is their (female) thrill and joy psychology intrinsically
different from that of males? how?

2. Why do more females not seek out gliding aviation
and sport much as they may for male company and sport
among hang glider pilots and for among male parachute
jumpers and sport?

3. If male glider pilots came to the airfield in Limousines,
wore tatoos and had ear and tongue piercings, used
and gave away currently popular illegal drugs, and
flashed Gold debtcards, would more females be attracted
to gliding than now?

4. Is this subject forbidden in America or in worldwide
discussion of gliding?

Your posits and proffers from males and females, giving
serious thought and expository composition, shall be
interesting. goferit.

Dancing on clouds,

Keep it up!
