Most women won't be seen dead (sorry; an English expression) in most GA planes, which makes the activity rather "specialised"...> Suppose that puts me well in the minority of women as I am only too happy to fly any GA plane.....but then definitely "special" :)
The reason for female controllers is simple: Men take commands from women easierly, whereas women don't mind where command come frome. Some systems are build with that in mind. Female commands for security relevant announcements and wrong settings( like GEAR UP) and male for correct settings (GEAR DOWN). I know a researcher at Cov university.
Maybe just too much publicity involving women doing what is basically, hey, flying a plane, like this one, and thus directly implying that women can’t fly a plane, and this “fact” has to be disproven.
Can we have some women to discuss this topic? I am puzzled when it’s mostly men talking about lack of women…reminds me of the chat with bartenders from Essex pubs

Unfortunately Croatia recently (according to 2021 research) became country with largest percentage of obese people in EU, more that 70% adult men and 60% women are overweighted. Just few years ago (2016) Croatia was at 8th place on the same list with 63% men and 54% women overweighted, while out of them 20%...

It is just that some diets make it simpler to reduce calories than others. I’m not so sure about that. French women are the group of women in Europe eating most calories. They also are the slimmest women in...
Interesting the no visible body piercings. I’m sure there could be a sexual discrimination case unless they are refusing to hire women who wear earrings as well as men who wear earrings.
