You’ve totally misrepresented that post.
Yes. I was being facetious or mischievous.
I’m all for progress in this area and equal opportunity for both genders. I was just hoping to point out that things have been worse in the past and are worse in many other parts of the world. Pakistan , India and Turkey may well have elected female leaders but according to wiki Pakistan still has high rates of forced and child marriages, sexual violence is on the rise in India and honour killings still occur in Turkey. I’m no expert on this stuff but I am glad we discussing how we encourage women into aviation and not debating if they should be allowed to use DNA evidence in their rape trials or whether it’s distasteful to stone them to death when they are adulterous.
Anyway, the recruitment process is far from de-identified and if you’re an inexperienced young pilot at the moment your job prospects are brighter if you’re female. Simple.
