Not much mention yet of the role which the media plays in shaping people's expectations. Increasingly our lives are being "dumbed down" and access to challenging debate is being replaced by "spin" and carefully doctored statistics.
The obsession with quick fix solutions to life's problems has spilled over into every area, and the key seems to be that the new paradigm is abrogation of personal responsibility at all costs.
I dont think it's just a problem of women not wanting to be Pilots, but a wider malaise affecting society in general.
George Orwell thankfully got it wrong. Aldous Huxley sadly seems to have been pretty spot on with regard to our future Social development.
I'm probably spouting off the thread...sooo....
Female pilots are bloody excellent and fine individuals to have around. We should have more of them.
I'm done now and I'll go back in my box.
