The point I am trying to make is that it is not a man/woman issue but an issue to do with an individual's personality.
I've met some really ill-mannered people of both sexes, I've met people of both sexes with whom I did not get on, I've met some really kind, helpful people of both sexes and I've met bunny-boilers of both sexes.
I want to be treated as a pilot, not as a female pilot, as a pilot; consequently my gender doesn't come into it. My height might be an problem but then, I've met other short pilots and they've coped!
If someone treats me with arrogance, condescension or rudeness, I do not assume that that treatment has been meted out to me because of my gender or because of theirs but because they are ignorant feckwits and I'll rise above it!
Cheers
