Not sure. I don't think I am captured well by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_guilt … . I think it is rather an acknowledgement that I am not drawn randomly out of a population and that my observations may not generalize. I do not want people to take away that it's all about persistence.

was thinking about somthng more along these lines - https://www.bjceap.com/Blog/ArtMID/448/ArticleID/75/Workplace-Survivor-Syndrome …. Defo persistence (and hard work that comes with & sacrifices) plays a role, as does luck. But indeed other factors play a role, too; for 1 i’ve found all my advisors insightful/„smart”, 1 way or another

it seems to me that luck and the ability to persist often interact w/ structural inequality. very ripe for attribution errors. in both success and failure, how much is really due to the individual? the system? power structures/ inequality? (w/ a role for stochasticity of course)

Very true, I was hinting at that..

Since we're at the intersection of aeroplanes survival & discrimination, I'm droping this. They were given shitty plywood planes because they were "a bunch of girlies" but they managed anyway. That's amazing but also indicative of what survivor bias does.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/07/night-witches-the-female-fighter-pilots-of-world-war-ii/277779/ …

Soviet fighter planes in WWII were mostly plywood, too. E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-3 … (Probably most pilots preferred US planes...)

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?

My grandma serviced aircraft well into 1942, then gave birth to my mom and her sis, while granddad serviced and shuttled US planes from Far East to the front all the war. IMHO SU was less discriminatory than the West for females.
