I used to fly a bread and butter run into the London Area in a twin prop.
This routed me down over Brize.
I would fly FL75 till Brize and once over the BZ drop under CAS.
An observation the male ATC guys used to let me stay at FL75 till over BZ and then would advise me to descend to remain clear of CAS.
The female ATC controllers always would advice me to descend 20 miles before BZ seeming concerned that I would run into CAS
I think the female tends to be more cautious which is not a bad thing but not all of them
We used to have a female pilot who rode to the airfield on a hot Ducatti motorbike dressed in tight matching leather she also was into aerobatics big time.
So while we may generalize people are unique and different.
I know some wimpy male pilots
