Default women CFI care to comment???

soon heading down to florida, then short after I intent to start flying lessons.
what are the odds to be trained by any of you ladies in FL???
It's the population higer than the average ration in FL???
by the way thats great I think we all should be equal and they should be as sad as us when we get furlough hahaha that was a joke (whenever that happens to me hope to be as humored as now)!!
I saw a vid of the king schools conference where Martha says they are like the 6% of the pilot population
I love them both "king duo" great great video collection anyone interested in learning with me more than happy to study them vids toghether, I'm pretty sure that would be a good way to save some bucks for more hours of flying.

(b) Be at least 16 years of age for a rating in a glider or balloon.

(c) Be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language. If the applicant is unable to meet one of these requirements due to medical reasons, then the Administrator may place such operating limitations on that applicant's pilot certificate as are necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft.

(d) Receive a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor who:

By all means, happier by the day that I came across to these forum.
