Uh, Skychaser are you a female pilot? As one myself I didn't really have a problem with it (I mean gender inequality was hardly what I was keeping my beady little eyes out for), and I have yet to hear another female pilot bag the CD. I mean there are more than enough men portrayed as dills in training videos, CDs and DVDs. If women truly want equality then we have to accept that we also have to take our place amongst the "this is the wrong way" examples. Otherwise we would be insisting on a type of equality which is again, completely false (I mean like guys we are only human, so portraying us as smug little smarties who always show the guys how it is really done isn't exactly a picture of reality is it?). And again, it's adding to the argument that women are always given special treatment.
