The Apology
Whoa - I think some people need to take a deep breath and do some research.
Some of the women who wrote in have been contributing to SSA in a big way for years. Not to mention that the current Chair of the SSA is a woman. I believe the proper response is to understand why someone was offended and determine how to prevent it in the future. We don't get to determine is someone should be offended. Our job is to respect their feelings. And, if the Editor and the Chair of the SSF think they needed to apologize, I'll take their lead. Lou PS - I think Thomas Jefferson was a great founder. Flawed but great. |

I've met both complainant and the SSA President, both at the WSPA
seminar at Black Forest in the early 90s and got along just fine with both. As to respect, what about those of us who are offended by their complaints?* So feel free to apologize for yourself, but not for me.

* Getting upset today over something that
happened decades ago, and was mainstream at the time, is simply someone wanting to stir up bad feelings.* Agreed that this old stuff happened in the mainstream in the 40's and best water under the bridge today, even if bad by today's standards. Wanting to stir up bad feelings because of it not productive. The complaint seems about the same stuff unfortunately happening today. |

Lou PS - I think Thomas Jefferson was a great founder. Flawed but great. -- Dan, 5J The most telling aspect of this thread is that almost all the respondents are men, and almost all the men seem completely blank ("without empathy") regarding how this ad could feel demeaning to a woman. This cluelessness is, I think, the main point for many women. Dan Marotta gets it. Congratulations, Dan! |

Well most readers and posters on this list are men, so no surprise there and almost all the men seem completely blank ("without empathy") Or they are just utterly sick of the virtue signalling that they are exposed to This cluelessness is, I think, the main point for many women. Well, unless the women are in a position of a Tardis, they can not be easily offended by something that has yet to be written. Like Dan, I believe that you cannot, or rather should not, redo history.

History is women pilots have lowered themselves to product promotions, but not like the artist rendering. Here is a real advertisement.

Whatever the problem is I'm listening. Back to reality of era, here is she is third from the left with Eleanor Roosevelt. Closest to the camera with USA on her sleeve is Ann Woods who just told Mrs. President: “In England, the ladies get equal pay as the men.” Look at Eleanor's smile. This first was two lifetimes ago, but it is still an issue in the USA. https://photos.app.goo.gl/oFCcTozLaaAZURdVA You could stop digging (before you get to China). |
