When Pilot DAR made his post I am sure that he had no intention of offending anyone, least of the ladies in PF.
As I (and Collins) see it fraternity is a "body of people united in aims and interests" a fraternity, a brotherhood, a sisterhood but a group of people sharing a common interest. Bringing sexist connotations into it is my view unfair and should have been said between bitten lips.
If anyone needs to make it sexist then I suggest you spilit into two groups. Males and females. Then what will you achive? Zilch, nada. You wanna know why? Because you will STILL be two bodies united in aims and interests.
Is that enough to stop this nonsense?
Flying is a joint pastime or job. It was never always thus but that is because of the French. Get on and enjoy.
As for meeting, that is easy. Just arrange it with a suggestion and see how far it goes.
