You do spend a lot of time telling me, in multiple threads, how I keep damaging my credibility. It's a bit of a trope for you. Just an observation. Yet here you are, engaging in a discussion with me, again.
.. to convince me that systemic racism is the reason that women avoid the sewer workers or trash collectors career.
Sexism - not racism - if it's a female/male bias. Racism is to do with ethnicity etc, not sex.
There are endless articles you will find about the so-called systemic racism to publish. Most are by political activists.
Anyone who publishes about systemic bias is a political activist, anyone who is a political activist has an ulterior motive, anyone with an ulterior motive can be ignored - therefore anyone who publishes about systemic bias can be ignored - is that it?
I suspect that the female airline representative of her association knows a lot more than you ever could about (a) how female pilots view the job as a career. (b) how female pilots feel in general to start with about careers, (c) How the industry has treated female airline pilots.
I entirely agree with you on this.
However, I don't think the female airline pilot representative of her association knows very much about how women who are
not airline pilots feel - about how those who elect
not to start a career as an airline pilot feel. Or how they might feel, if they had more role models.
The female pilots she knows and represents are the ones who have entered the career and succeeded, despite the bias, and credit to them for that. But by definition they're not representative of the women who would benefit from more role models.
One way to encourage the group of women who choose not to start a career as an airline pilot to do so - and therefore to benefit from the industry's treatment of female pilots, about which she has only good things to report - is to create more female role models. United has decided to do something in its power to achieve that. I think it's commendable.
DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
