ChrisN,
The reason I said I didn't want men to comment on women's flying abilities was because I'd seen several threads on similar subjects where post after post went somthing like this:
"The women pilots I've known have been as good as the men"
"Some have been even better"
"I'm not prejudiced; flying has nothing to do with gender"
"I think women make good pilots"
Etc etc etc, yawn yawn yawn.
Yes, the sky is blue, women can walk and talk, men can cook occasionally.... I didn't want to have to trawl through simplistic and obvious statements that don't need to be made. As originator of the thread, I wanted to have that option.
Do you get my point?
