A very experienced female instructor friend assures me that women learn to fly differently from men, and need to be taught differently. She found it hard to elaborate, but felt that more research needed to be done on this.
I do agree that the subject of the way that female students and instructors interact with their male counterparts is worthy of another thread.
One of my intructors later on in my training was a woman. The dynamics were different and the pace of my learning did change. I cannot put a finger on what was going on. I certainly didn't get some of the innuendo and puzzled responses at the way I acted, as I did with the men.
I should have pointed out that I am a woman in my previous post.
