Not enough female scientists, not enough NFL coaches of color (never mind the player demographic -- that's illusory.) Not enough women in boardrooms. Not enough female law partners. This institutional sexism and racism needs to be rectified by any means necessary -- even if it means forcing some people to like the idea of flying airplanes and science. In the name of diversity.
No excuses will be tolerated.
Both yours and Ricks's are excellent posts that all too many people want to ignore.
Sure, there WAS a time when the rationale of "we simply didn't think it was an option for us" was viable. That went away long ago......

Another truth/REALITY.
It was comical a few years back at WAI, there were some younger female pilots openly commenting about all the males there, and how messed up it was that males are allowed to attend. As in, saying it loud enough that plenty of people around can hear it.
