I think that women tend to want to play with the boys but only want the rough stuff if they are dishing it out.. If any real equality enters the picture... they want to revert to gender special treatment.
men and women are different.. it ended like it started and everyone who tried to prove men and women aren't different ended up proving the exact opposite.

Hi Lazs,
I will be the first one to admit it and will admit it often. I don't like rough stuff... i.e. Verbal Battle; I don't like to dish it out and I don't like to get it.
Flying an airplane... even a cartoon one, is different. My cartoon plane shoots bullets just like everyone elses does.
Shoot me down? no problem... didn't hurt a bit and I don't ever take it personally... even if it is meant personally. hahahahaha
I am competitive, able and determined.
Don't want to get shot down by a woman?
Then don't fly near me cause if I get the chance, I will send you to the tower.
You don't have to be the best, nor do you have to be a man, to shoot anyone down. Even the best of the best get shot down.
I have already brought down a few of the "Aces"... and that does not mean I am better than them. I simply had the shot and I took it.
If I get shot down? I will just get another one and come back... CheckSix
I fly for the sport and challenge, it really is that simple.
I do
not do it to be like a man nor to wave an equality placard and the airplane doesn't care who drives it.
Men and women are not the same... I have said that since day one; I will say it till the day I die.
But we both are equally human beings... no gender holds exclusive claim to power of intellect. There are men who are just as smart as women. hahahaha
Flying? Women can be just as good or better than men.
Last time I looked, an F-22 Raptor had fly-by-wire. You dont need to be able to lift 200 lbs to drive it. And, the F-22 doesn't know nor does she care if you have testicles or overies. It just does what you tell it to do. CheckSix

EDIT: For a short read... see what is being discovered about...
Women and Racing...An excerpt - An aspect of this gender separation is seen in how many people use it to cast aspersions on a male driver, what greater insult than to say he drives like a wimp, sissy, or girl?
So for many the idea of female racing drivers is uncomfortable as they see it as women taking on a masculine role and thereby diminishing their femininity, becoming a 'freak of nature'.
Motorsport, as another area of life, simply reflects society and the great thing about society is its fluidity. It is not rigid but takes a little coaxing and a lot of time to change and that is why women, competitive, able and determined, will continue to turn the race wheels but not in the name of some underlying feminist cause or to change the world but in the name of sport and challenge, it really is that simple.
