Final 3 Greens, Please be assured that I am not trying to wind you up and I'm not sure why you would think that. I wonder if you have misread / misremembered what I wrote as you appear to have misquoted me and then tried to answer the misquote.
Perhaps the medium is to blame, but for the avoidance of doubt let me requote myself:
"My view is that a pilot is a pilot. There are poor pilots, competent pilots and outstanding pilots, whether they are male or female doesn't matter as far as I can see."
In a later post you seemed to agree with me but your tone seemed (to me) rather patronising because you said "...than us guys and we can learn much if we suspend our disbelief...". Please accept my apologies if I have got this wrong, again it may be this medium leading to misunderstanding.
That is why I posted "Why should we have any disbelief (in the first place) that needs suspending"
As I said before, in my view a pilot is a pilot, whether they are male or female doesn't matter as far as I can see.
I'm certainly not trying to wind anyone up, and as far as I can see you agree with what I said.

I think we are in violent agreement! That's why I wondered if you were winding me up - as you say, the medium can distort the message - bit of a misunderstanding as you say.
My point was that it is a human tendency to categorise groups of objects (e.g. male/female) and to give them attributes that differentiate them (e.g. women have poor spatial awareness etc) - this is what causes the disbelief in the first place when these "truths" filter people's perception of the world through their own beliefs and experiences.
No intention to be patronising, sorry if it read that way.
