Please, list me just one, only one thing a woman born in 1989 wasn't able to do due to her gender.

We are talking about aviation, but in the grand scheme of things, you cannot deny the historical facts that we did and we still do have the upper hand. At least I’m honest enough to check my privilege rather than whine about gays having a parade and I don't.
I don't even know who this Milo is. The "historical" fact is history, past, not actual. Nobody with a functioning brain would ever deny that.
What I'm saying is that now things are being (or are already) reversed, and that's not equality, it's just another discrimination.

How can I compete in a competition open only to women? I'm not fearful, I'm pissed off from this!

My statement was not limited to the aviation world. Anyway, talking about white caucasian men being discriminated easyJet really comes to my mind, just to name one.
How can you increase your percentage of women pilots from 5 to 20% in two years when the 95% of applicants are men, guaranteeing the same selection standards? Are all women pilots geniuses?

If gender does not count, why is literally still in the first page of every online application of ANY airline?
