Yeah! That Amelia Earheart woman couldn't fly for toffee! You need big strong muscles to heave an aeroplane round the sky. The women should stay in the galleys and make the coffee for the REAL men in the cockpit...

[Well, on second thoughts I suppose she could fly all right, it was her navigation that left a bit to be desired... ]

Enough p*ss taking. Surely women only have to be as physically fit as the men in those jobs where strengh and physical fitness are important elements of the job? I never approached the physical fitness of a Royal Marine Commando but then I only needed to be fit enough to get out of bed in the morning and stagger to the airfield for a fun day playing with aeroplanes.
