Humour airplanes and women

............ In an environment where women are treated as equals, and
given their due respect, that sort of joke can be very entertaining.

FYI....

Men Women

Men ! Women
Women ! Men

Or put simply,

Men != Women

So, don't expect me to treat each as such.

Shhh, your gonna scare off all the potential women aviators in the
group....they're so sensitive to this type of "sexism" and all.

Yes it feels so good to be politically correct.

Cool off a bit Peter it's only a joke.


Ahh yes, the old "we can be as ignorant and insulting as we want, all we
have to do is accuse our detractors of being politically correct" tactic.

Well, screw you. People bitch and whine about how aviation is dying on the
vine, and yet the industry basically excludes 50% of the population, through
a variety of means but very much including this sort of sexism.

If and when pilots can author and laugh at a similar list written about
airplanes and men, then perhaps you can defend yourself against political
correctness. Until then, this is just one more example of the rampant
sexism that exists in the aviation industry.

You can take your accusation of "political correctness" and shove it up your
ass. As anyone who knows me knows, I am the last person one could
rightfully accuse of that. I'm more than happy to skewer anyone anytime,
regardless of race, gender, creed, etc.

But I'm also willing to call a spade a spade. The post wasn't even all that
funny, and it was very much representative of the prehistoric attitudes one
finds so prevalent in aviation. As long as idiots like you continue to
think there's some amusement to be found in this sort of thing, aviation
will always be one of those things that's all about the "boy's club".

So there.



Well glad to see that you can discuss things in a cool and restrained
manner.

The posted joke is just a variation of Beer-better-than-women,
beer-better-than-men, dogs-better-than-women, dogs-better-than-men and
so on, I'sure that if you google the net you probably can find a
planes-better-than-men.

Any joke can be found offensive by people than want to be offended.

You must have a life full of fun....

Pete, there's a thousand reasons why women don't participate in aviation.
Jokes aren't even in the top 400.

Mary thought the jokes were hilarious, and (in fact) has made a practice of
forwarding them to her family and friends. (They're not new, by any
stretch.)

Here you go.

WHY AIRPLANES ARE BETTER THAN MEN

-- An airplane NEVER leaves the toilet seat up.
-- An airplane lasts longer than seven seconds.
-- An airplane won't care if you gain five pounds.
-- Flying an airplane can't make you pregnant.

Peter, are you sure you are not a woman posting under a man's name?

Just kidding :-)

I'd like to see someone write a similar "joke" about "airplanes and men"
and post it here. Now *that* would be funny.

Geez, this is only a bunch of jokes, so chill out. My wife laughed
almost as much as I did, and she is not particularly thrilled about
riding in my plane. I'd love to see a similar list about men and
airplanes. In fact I've got one someplace; I'll have to look around.

I find complaining about other person's humor and the whole "political
correctness" area to be totally devoid of intellectual comment. It most
certainly does not belong on an aviation news group.

It belongs here just as much as the original post did. It may well be that
neither belong, but if the original post belongs here, so does the
commentary on it.

City Dweller,

A quick google search on "Why airplanes are better than men" gave
the followings

Why airplanes are better than men:
1. They take you where you want to go and the service is better.

they stay up longer.

4. AIRPLANES v. MEN
An airplane actually looks good without hair.
An airplane rarely has a problem getting up.
Airplanes don't get you pregnant.
You always know when you are getting a high preformance airplane.
Airplanes don't stand you up.
You don't have to pretend to like being with an airplane 24 hours a
day,
7 days a week.
Airplanes don't complain when you insist on being safe.
An aiplane is easier to maintain.
