The problem Dan is that aviation is a male dominated game, just like say rock climbing (although my missus is well into this), or female topless boxing (an old favourite).
Personally I admire any woman that will stand out from the crowd and have a crack at a male dominated and usually somewhat sexist-pig thing. My wife shocked a lot of people taking up climbing with me (the in-laws are still giving me a hard time, and we've been married 2 years!). She is slowly coming around to aviation. My hat is off to all those ladies who get involved.
But that said, any bloke who knits is a complete handbag
