The "sadly" comment in the article is also a narrative. No offense.

It isn't a narrative, it is simply a point of view. Are we happy there aren't more women pilots? That would be your POV.

  • I don't care how many women pilots there are. Nor should anyone. What's important is that women have the opportunity to become pilots if they so choose, not how many women actually make that choice.

  • The narrative is "it is important that genders are equally represented in all professions". The "sadly" indicates that - it assumes that equality of representation is good and expected, so the fact that it was found to not be the case is "sad".

    > Are we happy there aren't more women pilots?

    I'm sorry, what? Who's we? You and... ?

    > That would be your POV

    If you want to know my POV all you have to do is ask.
