Yes it feels so good to be politically correct.

Cool off a bit Peter it's only a joke.

Ahh yes, the old "we can be as ignorant and insulting as we want, all we
have to do is accuse our detractors of being politically correct"
tactic.

Dude....is there nothing anyone can post in this group that you
don't find some way of argue about it? I swear, you are one of
the most argumentative people I've seen in my short stint in
this group.


Well, screw you. People bitch and whine about how aviation is dying on
the vine, and yet the industry basically excludes 50% of the population,
through a variety of means but very much including this sort of sexism.

If and when pilots can author and laugh at a similar list written about
airplanes and men, then perhaps you can defend yourself against
political correctness. Until then, this is just one more example of the
rampant sexism that exists in the aviation industry.

FYI I have seen similar lists comparing both mena and women
to whatever field is common amongst whatever group the joke
is presented in. It's just a variation on a theme, like the
"how many (insert ethnic group here) does it take to (insert
common ordinary function here)?" joke.

Just so you know, women make the same derogatory sexist comments
about guys that we do about them. I used to work someplace where
I was one of the few guys. Believe me, I heard my share of "men
jokes". But you know what? I laughed, because quite honestly,
they were funny. If you can't laugh at yourself, then you've
got "issues". We all knew it was a joke, and no one was offended.


You can take your accusation of "political correctness" and shove it up
your ass. As anyone who knows me knows, I am the last person one could
rightfully accuse of that. I'm more than happy to skewer anyone
anytime, regardless of race, gender, creed, etc.

Ahhh....yes....I was right. See my first paragraph.


But I'm also willing to call a spade a spade. The post wasn't even all
that funny, and it was very much representative of the prehistoric
attitudes one finds so prevalent in aviation. As long as idiots like
you continue to think there's some amusement to be found in this sort of
thing, aviation will always be one of those things that's all about the
"boy's club".

So there.

This reminds me very much of the typical cry of discrimination.
But when push comes to shove, you know who turns out to be doing
the most discriminating? Those who are complaining about it all
the time.
