I don't know what the fuss is about.
Apart from some comical situations where some airport worker cannot believe the woman was a pilot (occuring mostly in 3rd world countries like Spain) women get preferential treatment in all aspects of aviation that I have seen.
When you get young women doing work experience in aviation engineering, everybody in the firm bends over backwards to help them out. Of course, they don't really like that
When you get women doing PPLs, everybody at the school bends over backwards to help them out. Of course, they don't really like that, either
In employment, things are different in
small companies but in a very small company this is necessary because you cannot recruit a woman of obvious child bearing disposition (how you judge that is somewhat tricky but you have to do your best; one generally goes on age) into a critical job especially as in ~90% of cases they exercise the maternity leave option in full but never come back. In a big company you work around this using generous staff numbers to even things out. This causes a lot of bitterness among women I am sure but having kids
is a lifestyle choice, freely made. But this is nothing to do with aviation...
