Surely, the very fact that the Air League feel that having talks about "women in aviation" has any relevance whatsoever in this day and age is an insult to women in itself isn't it ?
The reason why women don't pursue aviation as a career in 2017 is probably because they don't want to . Not because they can't !
Look at how many females are in prominent positions today ! Not because they've been given any special assistance from men in higher places , but because they've merited that position by their own endeavours .
It's the freeloaders who can't quite cut the mustard that make it so much more embarrassing for the many who can, that drag the level of play down to pre 1930s standards.
It insults the ones who did cut the mustard........Their names live on forever.
