I don't really think you can predict how men react to women pilots based on how far from the equator they live but the more people whinge about it and go on about it the worse it will get. It's going to get to the stage where people start to get paranoid about it.
Get over the who sex thing. People judge you very quickly on a number of things. Stop putting all people into groups and judge those you meet in the same way that you want them to judge you.
I am getting soooooooooo bl**dy bored of all these female pilot threads I am beginning to wish women weren't allowed in the cockpit
