Ned you didn't want to add Rose McRae? She wrote a good book once too.

Isn't there an International Club for female helicopter pilots? Whirly-Girl Home Page -- Women Helicopter Pilots

If so, why can't we talk about the fact that women fly as well as guys do?
There are calendars of well built firemen, and that is not thought of as sexist!

Yes I know, a big difference is that the fireman possess for the photos and knows where it is going, but this is not a porn site and these are not porn photos that we are talking about.

I know two male pilots who appeared in Cleo's most Eligible Batchelors list. Are they wrong for doing that.

What is wrong with saying "She's cute! Oh and she flies as well. Cool!" This is not expressing surprise that an attractive person also has a skill or ability, this is expressing admiration. We who fly, know what it took to get here. Most times we can feel for someone elses journey, male or female.

I have a good looking teenage daughter, and I know that some will look at her beauty as an excuse for sexualising her, their problem. But at the end of the day, I still have an intelligent and good looking daughter.

I believe that society has progressed from the days of 'She has looks and therefore no brains'. I don't see how any of Hell Mans posts are suggesting that is the way he thinks/posts.
