That's great. But you're one of the rare women who have managed to ignore
or get past the sexism in the aviation industry. That's good for you, but
means you're not exactly representative of women generally.

I'm sure the fact that flying usually requires interest in flying, interest
in systems and how the plane operates, interest in navigation, interest in
weather and general interest in how things work has nothing to do with the
rampant sexism you keep talking about. The reason women don't fly is that
the majority of women DON'T WANT TO FLY!!! Now, you're going to say that
women don't want to fly because we run a "he man woman haters club" in
aviation. Bull.

What most hangar flying, tire kickers have in common is the love of the
things mentioned above. And for some God-given reason, most women aren't
interested in that. Just like most mechanics aren't women and most
cartographers aren't women. Don't get me wrong. 2 of the best pilots I
know are women and have interests in all those things...but they are rare.
Hey, guess what....High School teachers are 70% women nationwide! Oh my at
the sexism!!!! And do you know what those women teachers do when they talk
to each other? They talk about stuff that interests women teachers! Someone
file a lawsuit at the heresy!
