Women in aviation are analogous to men in nursing profession as Registered Nurse. Working in a hospital I have known and worked with some awesome male nurses who are great at what they do. They too face many challenges working in a majority female dominated profession.
Fact still remains, however, women won't be flocking to aviation as men, and men won't be flocking to the nursing profession as women.
Whether man or woman, if you have the drive and passion for any subject, then just do it.
