Oh, believe me, it’s the same for us men lol. We’ve all got plenty of internal conflicts affecting our sense of worth. Stemming from anything from past trauma to recent breakups, or even that one really stupid thing we did when we were 15. Most are just conditioned to internalize and bury it...

Negative. That’s the true face of confirmation bias. If there's one thing a few Statistics courses taught me, it's how easy it is to manipulate numbers to paint a specific picture/narrative. Just because men generally trend toward more dangerous occupations doesn’t indicate inequality. It...

That's because I don't have a black-and-white definition spelling out exactly what true equality is. That's not what I set out to do in my (admittedly verbose) postings. Reading back, I can see how I was casting the impression of speaking for the feelings of all women, and that's not my...

I must have misinterpreted earlier because I agree in that regard. The vocal ones are usually in the "cool" jobs. And I believe it's because in general, they worked very hard to get those jobs, so they rightfully demand the respect and equality they've earned. But respectfully, I still think...

Oh, there definitely is less representation of women in physically demanding career paths. I never intended to deny that. But that’s irrelevant. What I took exception to was the hamfisted, derogatory nature of that post. “You don’t see them signing up to be garbagemen, they only want the...

When did we start comparing which fields were more toxic than others? I’m not following your logic here. But I’ll counter that by saying I spent enough time in the army while women were fighting to be allowed into front-line combat MOS’s, to plainly see that they just want to do their damn jobs...

Regardless, my statement still stands. Resorting to cherry-picking old pop culture references going “But but, what about <insert 60 year old quote here>” is nothing but an exercise in pettiness and avoidance.

“Getting women into dirty nasty jobs” isn’t the subject here though. We’re not talking about “all women.” But since you bring that up, I’ll posit that many women don’t want to be in those fields because of this exact widespread toxic philosophy. “This is a man’s job, you don’t wanna do this...

He may have, but he would still ostensibly be referring to himself, which makes sense

One small step for man (because he is a man), one giant leap for humankind. One small step for a human, one giant leap for humanity One smol boop for me, One dope yeet for err’body Resorting to “but what about <insert historically significant phrase here>??” also adds nothing useful to a...

It’s the old tired tropes like that that are demeaning and minimizing. Broad strokes of hyperbole, with a few strawmen sprinkled in, that do nothing to further meaningful discord. Instead it only serves to keep gender equality a relatively uncomfortable thing to bring up in conversation. Saying...

Correct, actions do matter. But not sure how I'm focusing on style over substance? Being more inclusive through language does a LOT to grease the wheels of much-needed societal/cultural change as well. Much harder to achieve true womens' equality, when so many men are still so averse to even...

Very, very well articulated. As others have said, my only gripe with changing terms is when it's done in nonsensical, superfluous, and/or blatantly patronizing ways. And even then, it's not like it actively affects my day-to-day besides being mildly annoying at times. It's the melodramatic...

Never thought of that, sounds like a fantastic idea as battery-powered diesel heater would be much more portable than even a small generator. Not sure how the reality of piping that heat into the cabin would work though; I feel like having a Cessna door or window popped open on a cold breezy...

Good call. Better to ask and risk sounding like an idiot, than to risk doing something only an idiot would do.

Nonsense, I usually have plenty of questions about stupid NOTAMs.

Ahh, that makes much more sense, with the restriction being the size and type of card the machine can recognize. I was over here wondering how a CPAP machine could even find enough data to log, to fill today's immense cards.

Out of curiosity, how much digital space do these reports actually take up, and how much info is in them? Even with the nature of software bloat these days, I'd never imagine these reports(which I'm under the assumption are glorified spreadsheets that can be transposed to graphs and such)...

Honestly, you're completely right. Looking back at my own posts, I don't even know why I was arguing, or what point I was trying to make, lol. Chalking it up to: I had just come off of night shift and my zombie brain apparently wanted to fight someone today. Cheers :biggrin:

Yes, completely understood and correct. It obviously will happen, no question about that. My point is that it's still a standard that we should strive to uphold to the best of our ability. No, there won't be a 25,000ft mountain 1000ft outside the hold. But maintaining the discipline to fly...
