I flew as a PPL for many years and never encountered any sort of misogyny, indeed quite the reverse. I was always made very welcome at every club I visited and given every encouragement to continue my training and broaden my flying experience. Yes, being female meant that I was always in a minority but that never bothered me, and it clearly never bothered any of my (mainly male) flying colleagues or instructors either. I have an interest in aviation medicine and did have several discussions with instructors about how some felt that male and female students tended to have different learning styles, and sometimes tended towards different types of flying careers (sweeping generalisations, of course) but that was just based on our observations, not misogyny! I may have to dust off that PPL one of these days as I am missing being part of the flying community!
