Ah Kermit, you see it's only in Britain that we judge people by the way they speak. There's some quote I can't quite remember - George Bernard Shaw I think - that says something like that whenever any Englishman opens his mouth he makes another Englishman despise him. So the original thread probably has very little to do with either aviation or women, but a lot to do with being British.
The other comments concerning whether women are or aren't good pilots; do they really need saying? Women have been flying for over 90 years (first one got her PPL in 1910). It's hardly a novelty, or even worth discussing. As I've said before on these forums, I thought one needed hands, feet, eyes, brain, and co-ordination to fly, not any particular set of bumps or appendages. And if anyone's tired of my saying that, well I'm equally tired of hearing that women can fly as well as men, the statements made as though it was some new and utterly earth-shattering discovery.
