      How about that being a commercial pilot was for the most part a career that was a natural progression for military pilots (with that being a male exclusive club for years based on women not being allowed to serve in combat areas).

      It's still a career that is seen as an almost mens only club, but there are 7,000+ commercially licensed female pilots in the US alone. That's a lot of abnormal brains allowed to fly with passengers I guess.
      7,000 out of 110,000+ total pilots. WOW!

      The fact is females have slower reaction times on average and don't have the same spatial abilities as male brains. This is why there are less women in jobs involving driving and operating vehicles AND why men dominate the science and mathematics field because spatial-temporal reasoning is a large part of it.

        Because in the womb, we are all based on the same female template. Nipples are formed first. If you are male, then the testosterone kicks in and grows your little penis and your balls drop.

          Why do hot dogs come 10 to a package and hot dog buns only 8?
          Because they want you to buy 4 hot dog packages, and 5 hot dog bun packages.

          In other words, they basically want you to eat a hot dog sandwich every day for 40 days.

              I had a hot dog for the first time in 6 or 7 years on wednesday. It looked so good, so smooth and delicious, but it tasted so terrible. I dont know why it was so bad.

                Maybe cause your taste buds were no longer used to it, having not had one in a long time. Or maybe the one you ate was just a bad sample.

                  For all of you that are genuinely interested in this kind of stuff, check out this book:

                  It's pretty interesting and you can probably find it at your local Library like I did.

                      How does this explain the growing % of women entering these fields?

                      Each year the number of women entering STEM (science/tech/engineering/math) grows, somehow despite the brain "issue"?

                      You take numbers that are very disproportionate on gender, and make these assumptions without citing any scientific proof on the reason it exists (and then make a big leap based on questionable physiological differences).

                      There are of course some differences between the sexes, but not how you would have us believe. Your reasoning doesn't account for the growing % of women in all STEM fields each decade, mine does. Or how about how women now hold over 50% of new positions in math and science in some northern European countries.

                      I base my research on crazy stuff like The Seattle Longitudinal Study and the fact that for decades, women were not even allowed to do these jobs (or strongly discouraged).

                      What do you base yours on? Anecdotal observation.
