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/ …

It would be lovely if you didn't reply to threads I'm in, as you have been more than once, to tell me what a great partner, great traveller and dad and whatever the fuck else you are. I couldn't care less and you just crossed a major line with your BS this time.

If you think the USSR is less sexist than the UK, there have been many studied into this. I also come from a part of the world that superficially seems less sexist. However, the real story is much more depressing and interesting than Cyprus and the USSR are less sexist.

Anyway, your apologetics for war and the USSR during war are creepy AF.

You have attached a feminist spin onto something that does not have much to do with it. And tried to defend this spin in an unconvincing way, too. Besides, wars are hell, and USSR was hell, too, I have no clue where you found in my tweets an apology for them.
