I've talked to two women in AH so far. One's Fiona and the other's deafchick. On top of that, I've also heard of Barbie, who flies with Loose Deuce. Pink Leather Aces hahaha, never heard of them.
Yup, we have quite the sausage fest here. My university was this way too, though not nearly as bad.
Re: CL discussion. Force balance or not, all we have to say is that CG is the "fulcrum point" - if we're pushing up at CG, the aircraft will not pitch up or down. This can be demonstrated with examples among household objects - when you balance anything on your fingertip, you are matching the CG along the horizontal. While holding the object balanced, push up to see what CL does. Very simple example, very intuitive, and close to how I imagine complex problems in my head. I once explained resonance frequency to a friend by using a swing set as an example.
