Yes, training departments will assert that minimum standards are maintained, and even accepting that to be true (debatable), but by narrowing the candidature based on gender, minimum standards could otherwise have been exceeded by a greater margin by not discriminating. Discrimination is bad, whatever it's form (eg gender percentages, quotas etc).
What instructor is going to wash out a female. A certain percentage of each gender that washes out will make false claims against an examiner. It could very well be the same percentage. But our society will immediately jump out in favour of the female pilot while ignoring the male pilot and examiner can kiss his training job goodbye. Perhaps he will have said Miss instead of Ms that got him suspended. Or perhaps it doesn't matter because ...."we have to believe".
The dangers of woke to aviation and so much else. Exaggeration? How did that 767 guy at Atlas end up flying the line.
