Being a female in aviation a lot easier than it used to be. Aviation is still male-dominated, but the current crop of 20-40 y/o's have been dealing with women as equals for most of their lives so aren't as big of jerks about it as older generations. The occasional clueless male is still around but less tolerated than even ten years ago.
The pilots are the most tolerant.
The mechanics are slowly becoming tolerant, and males and females cuss equally well.
Ground crews are, well, ground crews.
The passengers, keep super glue in your toothpaste to keep smiling as yet another passenger compliments you, the female captain, for being a flight attendant learning how to fly, or for your dad bringing you to work, and so on.
Don't wear your heart on your sleeve and find a female mentor in whatever path you choose to pursue.
