As I've said before, making out that "women in aviation" are something so special that they can give a flashy presentation on the subject then they haven't been paying attention and/or are only self promoting.

Women have been getting on with it in aviation for the last 80 years or so without their patronage. To make out that being a woman makes you special in this or any other industry is belittling the achievements of those of us who don't get want to get paid to brag about it and is pure sexism.

I've said this before too, if they wanted to encourage people to get into aviation they should be setting up scholarships because it is MONEY that is the barrier, not gender. Setting up scholarships that are just for women is probably illegal these days and quite rightly.
