Agree 100%. But just have to point out this part, ( "So to the people who claim "oh but they need to be encouraged / have a role model / extra (financial) assistance / motivational speeches" to consider a flying career; well, you are actually being incredibly patronising and seriously underestimate the ability of women to think for themselves, a point which has been mentioned before on this thread. " )
The "people" who 99% of the times go on about this are feminists...plenty of youtube material of them being patronising, nothing new.
