They cannot say that it wasn’t caused by women, because there were no men in the pilot’s seat.

It probably crashed for the same reason there are few female racecar drivers, because there are skills that are inherently male and inherently female and flying a jet plane is what men do best.

I don’t like women in warplanes, period. That being said there are plenty of men who have even worse accidents than these women. I’m not saying that the pilot wasn’t at fault but I don’t believe they are any more likely than a male crew would be to be at fault. There are many women flight crews in civilian aviation and they seem to be doing just fine.

False premise again.

There could be few female drivers and pilots because they don’t sign up for it.

And as for general driving, insurance for ages has penalized males, because they prove to be worse drivers. Despite the sexist nonsense canards.

Danica Patrick is the most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel car racing—her victory in the 2008 Indy Japan 300 is the only win by a woman in an IndyCar Series race.

If this was a fighter jet performing high-g maneuvers, I'd agree that females are less capable and probably higher risk. But the P-8 is a militarized Boeing 737-800, not a fighter jet. In general aviation, female pilots actually have a lower crash rate than men.

Women can take greater g forces than men.
The ability to sustain higher g forces helps fighters pilots to out turn enemy pilots.

Make if it what you will....

That’s two more than Asian men.

No need for an AF, no Chinese male has ever won a car race of note.

They “overshot the runway.”

Which means it was pilot error.

It would be different if the plane had mechanical errors.
