It is not an allegation if the statement that the PF was a female , if true . Not sure if anyone suggested that this was contributory . If she was PF , then fact . Never illegal ! If one alludes to this fact as a cause then maybe you have an argument .
Perhaps you consider it to be a cause ??
Along the same vein , any assumption prior to the results of the investigation are rumour , including MPL , but this is okay with you . Guess you get to pick and choose what is bigoted !!
A female was a member of the crew .Fact . So was a man .Fact . Maybe asexual aliens were flying !!
Nothing illegal or sexist here , get a life and put your political correctness in the bin .
