Female Pilot Has The Perfect Response To Sexist Taunts On Her Profession

Women have been in aviation since the 1900’s with Raymonde de Laroche being the first licensed female pilot. We’ve all heard about Amelia Earhart’s name and her contribution to the profession. However, in 2018, it’s somehow still baffling for few 21st century men that female pilots exist. And since they aren’t ashamed of openly showing it, one pilot took them, and every sexist man in general, to task through a now viral Twitter thread.

Twitter user Charlotte, who is an Airline pilot, talked about how she had a great time at work and how it was ruined by two men who tried to pass off their sexist statements as jokes.

However, Charlotte wasn’t having it that day. So, she talked about the misogyny women face at work and the dated arguments men use to seem superior.

Sexist jokes are not normal.

It’s a made up and unnecessary barrier.

This attitude must change.

Charlotte’s message resonated with all and netizens came to support her and condemn workplace sexism.

1. Best advice ever.

4. Word!

Sexism has always been associated with stereotypes that may exist just because of a rumour and has no statistical data behind it. That’s why it comes off as unnecessary and avoidable. Women were, are and will be capable of doing so much more than men if they aren’t bogged by their egotistical counterparts. And since women are evolving in leaps and bounds in every profession, it’s high time for the society to retire any gender-based concepts and push for merit-based equality.
