Just because I'm curious as to the number, I'm starting this thread.
Being involved in a couple different sports, Kites being one of them. I've come to find that most of these sports or hobbies tend to be a Good ol' boys club. I'm sure that there are female fliers out there, but I would really like to know how many there are out there. Being a Falconer, there are VERY few females that practice the sport. of the 90 or so falconers in MT, there are only females that I know of. Working in the Aviation industry, of the 100's of pilots that I've met, I've only ever seen 4, and met 1. In Kites... I've yet to see a female flier. While I know they are out there, I've never met any female skydivers either. There are probably more female skydivers than I realize though. But the mass majority of participants in all of these sports are male. Where are the females, and how many are out there.
This thread is not intended to start a battle of the sexes debate, I'm just curious how many are out there, and why there aren't more.
