Pulse 1
I think it must be an ongoing 'cultural' thing!
Anyone who has travelled to Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt ... particularly that part of the world, will know that women become almost "invisible" for any business/car/aeroplane etc, etc, purposes - even if the woman wants to buy, it's the man they talk to!
(Not that different from computer shops, car salesmen etc in the UK)!
But it is changing, it will change, in the UK at least. My Instructor was male, but once I'd got my PPL, the first planes I used to hire were owned / operated by a woman (who's an Examiner, IR rated etc).
