Perhaps I should have been clearer...
There was a group of us, at a helicopter weekend, ALL talking about flying, for...two hours might be a bit of an exaggeration, ok? The idiot in question was a private owner and helicopter pilot - lots of money, no brains. He singled ME out for the comment. It didn't take a degree in rocket science or logic to realise it was because I was the only woman there. He wasn't remotely surprised that the others were pilots; after all, it was a helicopter flying weekend. What else would I have been doing there?
Phew...I think I'm getting tired of this. Trust me, I was being treated differently because I was a woman. I was there; I should know. And like I said, this is far from a rare occurrence. That's all.
