There is no competition between sexes in aviation unless you people make one. I have taught many people of both sexes and, while it is true some generalisations can genuinely made of either, I cannot hold my hand on my heart and say that one sex is better than the other - in this field. So, while it amuses many to make jokes about the issue, I think we should celebrate the fact that this is one of few occupations where women can compete on equal grounds. Frankly, I have no problems with that.
