Question

Someone mentioned earlier that the female percentage of Professional Pilots in the UK was around 3%. Will someone please explain why it is that with all of the (illegal) positive discrimination, favourable treatment, extra training, etc that well have all seen go on, the percentage still so low?
Incidentally, examples from the US are worthless, as anyone with even a basic knowledge of affirmative action programmes will testify.
