Science is about overcoming failures. List: (1) once I got to be professor, my first 23 grant proposals we're rejected. I am very comfortable now. (2) I was mediocre at school (~B) and particularly bad at stats. Much of my lab's work is close to stats now.

PO-2 was a mass-produced (20.000 made) all-purpose slow and light plane. Flown by countless pilots, male and female. Helicopter was not yet invented. It is a bit far-fetched to say it was solely due to discrimination that females got to fly them.

Thanks for explaining your perspective does this actually change the fact they were treated differently and therefore are undeniably the product of survivor bias?

I don't really think they or anyone serving in Soviet Army in rank below colonel or so at that time was treated as anything but cannon fodder.

Thank you for you input, Dima. Sexism is now cancelled. Everybody, step down, no more feminism needed!

war and death cancels everything, even feminism...

Pretty sure it doesn't and in fact women are hideously raped in war in ways unimaginable.

The USSR is not known as being "feminist" during war time. So please fuck off with your "war ends sexism" Soviet-sexism-apologetics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany …

I'm from Cyprus. We use ex-Soviet machine guns, in fact one per house (per man) is given to us by the government, so I not sure what you think I know or don't know. But more generally, what point are you trying to make? That they were treated as well as the men?

For example if you like Soviet missiles and a crisis, you will love what happened during my childhood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypriot_S-300_crisis …
