Hi Teal, Yeah, I remember you, from a few years back. Sorry to hear that you were injured, and could not fly for a while. It appears that you have now recovered enough to contemplate rejoining the flying (hopefully specifically the gliding) community. Your comment " ..... demonstrated to be quite plausible." particularly took my eye. So very true ..... but I think you have already been around the gliding scene enough to know that in general, most gliding blokes are OK, and in the vast majority of cases, are in fact real nice people. [Perhaps I should rephrase that last sentence re "cases"? There are indeed some hard cases about!]
It is (unfortunately), very apparent, that gliding for women is somewhat different to gliding for males. If you have been keeping your finger on the pulse, you will know that this is an issue that is being addressed, not only here in Australia but worldwide. I am sure that you are aware that there is a strong woman's gliding group active here in Oz. If I can help further, please contact me offline, or give me a bell 03 5352 4938.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Cost, hail damage Wow. I've not been able to fly at all over the last year or so because of an injury. But any concerns I've had that getting back into gliding might mean having to deal with piles of sexist crap from misogynist creeps have now just been nicely demonstrated to be quite plausible. Actually, that issue is just one of a bunch of things making it hard for me to get back into gliding at present. But it's a factor, oh yes it it. Thanks a ton, boys.
