ROGER THAT!!The direction things are going, he should be required reading.
Since 2016, we've been awash in doublethink. And nobody seems to notice.The direction things are going, he should be required reading.
The Soviet Woman was supposed to perform according to the Communist doctrine of the "women liberation". Gender equality was among the main principles of the ideology. On the one hand it created a new social lift for many talented women. Aviators were among them. On the other hand, it forced women into hard labor during the period of industrialization and, later, during WWII.
Female aviators were considered elite and were more or less protected by publicity. Hundreds of thousands of other women were less lucky and they shared all hardships of ordinary ground troop unit or the production line, working shifts of 12 hours and longer.
One of the saddest stories I read was about several girls who were executed near Stalingrad in 1942. They served as ground observers on the left bank of Volga and allegedly they missed the bombers raid. 18 to 22 years old, no training, no equipment, living in foxholes in the steppes...
My friend Kathleen had barely a week in the Captain's chair of the EMB145 before she had her first all female crew.
until there is nothing left after about 40 in 95% of cases.
Gender equality is a nonsense.
Above the IQ of 145 there are up to 10 x more males. Nobel Lauretes have IQ over 165 and there pretty much aren't women in this area.
I could make a comment or two about your ideology, but this forum is supposed to be about aircraft and history, not politics and ideology, and I've been warned too many times already, so I'll just let your words speak for themselves.Feminists were useful idiots.
It's getting that way here now, but Kathleen made captain on the Embraer twenty years ago. Not so common then. What was more common was comments about empty kitchens.Nice. Its a common thing here to have all-female crew aboard our regionals, Capt, F/O and hosties.
Clearly those stats don't apply where I live! I know loads of women who have had healthy children in their 40s, including my ex-wife!
More like the miracles of healthier living, smarter diet, better education, and better health care.Oh the miracles of modern science.
Of course then, Bulgaria's air force (the world's oldest, by the way) was under the authority of a Tsar, not communism.
Far as I know, the RAF is the world's oldest air force - that is, independent of Army or Navy control, formed on 1st April, 1918, from the Royal Flying Corps (Army) , and Royal Naval Air Service.
Oh the miracles of modern science.
So, a woman who isn't having kids is less of a person? You're starting to show your biases...Gender equality is a nonsense. Women become rapidly infertile after 29 years of age, declining at a rate of approximately 10% per year until there is nothing left after about 40 in 95% of cases. How does that not change they way life must be run?
IQ research, if you dare look at the raw data and find someone that does, tells us that male and female IQ distribution is different. Above the IQ of 145 there are up to 10 x more males. Nobel Lauretes have IQ over 165 and there pretty much aren't women in this area. Larry Summers, the dean of Harvard made this observation and lost his job over it but its well known.
As for the IQ... Men, Women, and IQ: Setting the Record Straight
While men may have a more in the higher IQ scores, we also have a higher representation in the lowest scores, so we are both smarter and dumber than women.

Not to mention that the tests themselves are hardly free from bias.One should be more skeptical of IQ scores. First, IQ tests weren't developed to measure intelligence*, but to guide teachers, and, second, the paper & pencil tests are known to have a high error rate. Incidentally, a formal, full-blown IQ test takes about two days with a specially trained examiner.

* It's hard to measure something which is not well-defined. The idea that intelligence can be measured by one number came from the existence of Binet's intelligence tests.
