Roc,
Since only 2% of commercial pilots are female, at least in the UK, on how many people are you actually basing your comments? Is it enough for them to be statistically significant? And we can't all leave jobs when the going gets rough; some of us need to earn a living if we expect to eat, even if we're female. Incredible generalisation if I may say so.
In this month's "Flyer" is a report on a recent US study of GA pilots involved in incidents. It was found that women had more accidents involving mishandling, men more involving poor decision making such as flight into bad weather. What was that you said about not seeing the bigger picture?
