One thing I have noticed, is that many well intentioned male colleagues make the comment that "she's a good operator" as a compliment to female colleagues. . .. .That's fine, but I have rarely (never?) heard them pass comment on male counterparts. It seems to be that a male's competance is taken as given. We will always be held under closer scrutiny and maybe if we have had an off day we are not cut the human slack given to the boys. I don't like it if I don't get teased about an occasional, ahem, "less than perfect landing" as I seems that was just what they expected.
