Yes. We need to attract people to our sport. We all suffer from declining numbers and women are some of the available pool of "blood". A condisending attitude towards women, or any other "group" might even be unappealing to a wide variety of people here. There are a lot of people reading this group and anybody that posts is, to some extent, a representation of who we are in soaring. I think bad attitudes do our community a disservice.
