A reluctance to take the controls

Removing factors that might discourage women will bring more women to
flying, but chances are that they will never be as interested in it as
men. This seems to apply to all motor vehicles, not just aircraft.

I'd be careful how you phrase it ...
There will likely never be as MANY women interested in flying as men,
but some of us are definitely *just AS interested* as any male pilot.

I truly hope that someday women will cringe when they read your
statement, above, just as they do now when we read how women regarded
driving, golfing and tennis as "men's sports" in the early 20th
century.

GA's best hope of survival right now is the woman pilot. We need more
of them, fast.
