Firstly, in my experience, there is absolutely no misogyny regarding email pilots. With the exception of a very few (same with men), they make excellent pilots. My wife is a typical example.
However, we both agree that the very existence of the 'British Women Pilots Association' is sexist. Imagine what some people would say if there was a 'British Men Pilots Association'. Same with the Black Policemen Association. Is that racist? I'm sure we would not be allowed to have a Whiteman version. As far as I am concerned, Pilots are pilots, whether they are black, green, female, gay or whatever. A pilot is a pilot.
