Yeah but there's no signal lights on an airplane or else they'd be fucked.

She was the first woman to fail the trip. Stunning and brave.

Well, Charles Lindbergh wasn't the first to fly over the Atlantic either.

Earhart was circumnavigating the globe when she was lost in the Pacific.

Didn't she end up on some island?! I know there's a lot of theory around her eventuality.... I think women have traditionally had larger,barriers to exactly the things dominated by men. I commend her willingness to achieve something for herself, even if it was hijacked by the propagandists as a woman thing. I could change my opinion if someone could prove she was given favor over other women or even individually due to her status among secret groups, which seems likely in most instances of fame.

You mean the same way children have traditionally had larger barriers to exactly the things dominated by adults?

They have "larger barriers" because they're not as fucking competent, not because people don't want them to succeed.

Correlation does not equal causation. Women are not oppressed, they're just flat out inferior to men.

They're not inferior.... They're different. Society has obviously been structured to cater to this difference in a natural way, and there is currently an agenda to destroy that natural balance.

Partially correct, correlation doesn't NECESSARILY equal causation. I'll use your own argument against you though. Just because women can't perform the same tasks as men doesn't mean they're inferior. The specific activities might correlate that data. While you're right, the cause of these performance issues by women for certain activities could be inferiority, it could also be a difference in biological purpose. Reward should be given as a correlary to performance. Meritocracy and whatnot. And nothing improves motivation to gain merit like the freedom to choose.

She eventually got lost over the Pacific. That's what I'm referring to. I realize this is a slightly seperate topic.
