“This is Your Captain Speaking” — The Gender Factor in Aviation

Rentmeister Women and gender factor in Aviation Essayin apage 1

Introduction:
“Even in 2017, neither women nor men have much opportunity to enjoy – or be alarmed – by a woman’s voice coming from the cockpit. Captain Amberge is one of only about three percent of female commercial pilots worldwide, of six percent employed by Lufthansa, and of only six percent of aviatrixes all over the world.

The division between “crew” and “cabin,” between male and female domains, is virtually nowhere as evident as in a commercial airliner. In 2017, 3.8 billion passengers still experienced this “gender gap.” The door between the cockpit and passenger compartment separates these two worlds, with a gender pay gap along as a silent passenger; the gap divides both wages and status, with men’s jobs being predominantly technical and prestigious, and women’s focused on looking after people.

Women have been piloting motorized airplanes since 1908. So we must ask why the average percentage of women pilots has not exceeded six percent in 110 years, especially given the fact that women have fought for equality and theoretically, at least, have access to all the classic “men’s professions.” Pilot Andrea Amberge believes that the gender divide takes hold very early on in the game….”

This essay explores why and how this gap opens, past and present, and how wider participation of women in aviation and STEM professions can be achieved.

The first German women’s band

“FLYING LESBIANS
Tribe of companion lovers who, as their name indicates, are wanderers. The Flying Lesbians come from Germany and have companion lovers everywhere. Singers and musicians, they owe their celebrity to the fact that they were the first group of wandering lesbians in the raving that began the Glorious Age.”

From: Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig: Lesbian Peoples. Material for a Dictionary. New York 1979


Text about the Disc from Distributor´s information 1976:

“The Flying Lesbians, the first German women’s band, are seven lesbians, who understand themselves as a workshop inside the lesbian-feminist movement, contributing musically to the growing women’s culture. They have been playing at national and international women’s parties for the last 2 years. They are amateurs.
Finally women are making their own music, expressing their own experience and their own perspective. Music to dance, words to listen to.
The texts are about issues, that are discussed in the lesbian movement and in the women’s movement: the situation of battered wives, of women in the drug scene, the „in the closet” situation of lesbians in a society that keeps a deathly silence about love between women, the impossibilities of bisexuality in a society that has institutionalised heterosexuality, the mechanisms, with which women, who have ,made’ it, in male careers betray their own kind, and many songs that express our growing, offensive, woman-identified consciousness.
The Flying Lesbians play for women only, women’s dances preferred. Their songs are in German and in English.”

The focus was on the implementation of gender studies, networking and the development of didactic concepts, as there is a great need in this discipline for didactic and methodological clarification. Topics discussed were: What is the goal of gender studies? How can gender awareness be raised in teaching or training situations? What good didactic examples exist already? How can New Media be implemented?

Domestic Violence: How those affected can protect themselves

in 8 languages: türkçe – english – français – espagñol – russkij – polski – serpski – german

“According to one British study, an average of seven years go by between the first incidence of abuse and the point at which women seek outside help.

How can the protection laws help?
When will a police report help?
When is a separation/divorce necessary?
How to prepare for this?
Where should one flee?
What do the authorities require?

Precise and practical tips for those affected – but also for:
women’s representatives  – women working in offices of the public authorities  – workers’ council staff – those who provide counselling in cases of domestic violence”
