Well said Woomera.
I have observed or flown with Female Pilots in PNG/GA and Airlines in Australia-
on average -they have been better operators and generally more knowledgeable than their Male counterparts.
Comments on how some individuals advance their career are from individuals who have a chip on their shoulder. I am sure many Males have worked for nothing or even paid to work for an operator-these are just facts of life.
Good luck to all our Female Pilots-it will be quite some years before they can say its a level playing field-despite the hysteria and paranoia evident here?
