It is expected for a trained pilot (she had a PPL) to land a plane. Suicide by jumping from a plane is the story.

It’s well documented that the media uses biases when covering stories about women. That’s the real topic here. Have you read the rules in the sidebar?

Although there has been a steady increase in the number of women professionals over the past 20 years, most mainstream press coverage continues to rely on men as experts in the fields of business, politics and economics. Women in the news are spoken about with language that has sexist connotations and are more likely to be featured in stories about accidents, natural disasters or domestic violence than in stories about their professional abilities or expertise. Despite these changes, gender representation in the media appears to be frequently skewed toward men’s representation and prominently features gender stereotypes. On a global scale, news coverage appears to mostly feature men, especially when considering representation as expert voices, where women are still underrepresented (24%) despite a rise in coverage in the last 5 years

What does it do for you guys to come in here and scold us for what topics we want to talk about? Why does it bother you?
