Haven't read TFA and I'm not going to because the answer seems obvious. I'd say this is mainly because a huge portion of (at least older) pilots were in the air force/navy and historically (unsure about now) women weren't flying in the air force/navy. The military is still pretty much a "men's world" and I think its probably the last place in society that we'll see an equal number of men and women on each task. Is it right? No, but that's what it is.
- sh4na 16y agoIt's mind-boggling what some people consider worthy of an upvote around here... didn't read the article, guesses what it says, then pats self in the back for such a good job at commenting. Subsequent upvotes tell other people that this comment is somehow meaningful for the discussion. Cute! Edit: and of course I'm downvoted. Thanks! Edit2: I'm no longer downvoted. Even though this might be relevant to a discussion of the voting system, I don't want to intrude on the discussion of the article itself, so no need to vote anymore on this. Thanks for the upvotes, everyone. Nothing to see here, move along... :)
- jedsmith 16y agoI downvoted you because as true as it might be, it's not constructive to call the OP out, and you're adding some of the very noise that you're complaining about.
- sh4na 16y agoNod, I understand. At the risk of adding just a little more noise, a quick note: I initially ignored the comment, but then while reading other comments I started seeing the upvotes piling up, and frankly, it bothered me. I can't downvote, I can only comment, so that's what I did.
